Hi all, I wondered if you can help me??
I have just dipped my toe into the world of PICAXE but am strugling a bit.
I have set up a 40x2 on a breadboard with an 8Mhz resonator (so running at 32Mhz I believe). It is connected to the LED042 GLCD module.
I have managed to control the GLCD via hardware serial out :
setfreq 32
hsersetup B2400_32, %000
hserout 0,(BackLight,1)
pause 3000
hserout 0,(printImage,1,0)
(when GLCD connected to the Hserout pin of the PIC)
However i cannot get it to work from a software serial port...
is it possible to do software serial with a clock of 32Mhz? It doesn't like
serout A.1,T2400_32,(BackLight,1) ( it can only do up to T2400_16)
if i try
setfreq m4
serout A.4,T2400_4,(BackLight,1)
I get nothing from the display.
Anybody know what I am doing wrong? I don;t wish to use the hardware to control it as that will be used at a baud of 9600 for pulling some info off another PIC (RFID data)
Thanks in advance
