Re: Interfacing with LCD to debug

Here's a demo example we used on a Vex robot a couple of year's ago: http://team358.org/files/programming/Vex_LCD_Demo.zip

The particular LCD we used was wired to digital input 16 and didn't use either serial port. It was a lesson on the basics of serial communication.

The README.txt file talks about the communication.

We used a Scott Edwards Electronics, Inc.
BPP-420 is an LCD module with attached serial interface. The spec. is in the zip file.
