On my breadboard, I set up a Phanderson.com #117 serial LCD chip (2400 Baud) last night with a HD44780 4x20 LCD and 08M and set up a simple initial test as below, but kept getting the LCD displaying wierd characters, eg.
Row1-12345678901234
100Row2-012345678901
Rw3-012345678901234
Row4-012345678901234
Where there would an extra "100" in there and a missing "o" in "Row"
Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem could be?
