Wierd LCD Characters - Sparkfun Serial LCD

Post by ApoC »

Hey

Ive this LCD: http://www.watterott.com/de/Serial-Enab ... n-Green-5V

I used it on my Multiwii with ProMini and 1.8p2 very well.

Now i changed to Flyduino Mega and 2.0 Dev 14.

When i connect my LCD, doing the Stick Combo - i see wierd characters on my LCD.

Whats happen?

I read the Citrus LCD Thread, but it wont work.

The LCD is connected on the FTDI Port of the Mega.

What can i do?

3 wire connection at 9600 baud? there is a hardcoded timing variable in LCD.pde for the 3 wire 9600 baud LCDs. Try increase/decrease and see if it helps.

You can try the serial LCD with regular arduino LCD-serial code

There are a few options to set brightness of LCD as well.
