Hello, Does anyone here uses NatriumTech Ready to use 20x4 HD44780 Liquid Crystal Display? Basically is a HD44780 LCD with a serial interface backpack. Im having problems trying to make it work. Got the driver from NatriumTech support forum and tested the LCD, working fine. But i cant seem to pair it with any software like LCD Smartie and LCD Center 2.0. Getting weird characters. Most of the tutorial/guide i found regarding VFD LCD are those with parallel interface. Since i got this NatriumTech LCD from this forum a while back, i thought that there might be some members using them. NatriumTech support forum looks outdated with broken links  Thanks!  |

QUOTE(Vervain @ Nov 16 2006, 11:41 AM) using it. but connection is via parallel. have you check on the connection? once on. the display should display 2nd and 4th row lines. Mine has a serial backpack that converts the parallel input to serial. Connections should be ok because i've tried testing the LCD panel with the driver i downloaded from natriumtech for my model, tested it to be working. The prob now is that i cant seem to get any LCD software to communicate with the LCD, some just gives me weird characters. Maybe i'll try to take the serial backpack away after my finals, connect it to parallel and hopefully it'll be better.  |
