Re: how to mount a lcd display onto a robot

It seems like you can just connect it to the serial port on the RC. You get a choice between the program port and TTL serial port. Just remember that the TX pin on the RC needs to connect to the RX pin on the LCD module and vice versa. At that point, you can use printf() to send data to the module. I'm not sure how to read it though. Does the FIRST code have some sort of input from the serial port? I suspect it would be scanf() if it has it.

What exactly are you trying to do with it?
