Re: WPILib & LCD Display

I'm working with aseligman on this issue. We eventually got the WPILib to output display to the SparkFun SerLCD display. We did use OpenSerialPortTwo(BAUD_9600); and then WriteSerialPortTwo('w');

For some reason, it wasn't working with an earlier project. But we noticed that we couldn't get output to go to the terminal either. So, we looked up an old project that did output to the terminal and when we added the above lines of code, we were able to write to the LCD display.

On a side note, we just tried to create a new project and the new project will not printf to the terminal. So, there is still something wrong- maybe with our MPLAB configuration? Project configuration? Not sure. Regardless, our old project is working fine, so we'll try to isolate the problem. Thanks for all the ideas.
