Hi, its probably been asked before, but search couldn't find what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for a way of using an 8bit lcd interface. The reason being it's supposed to be faster.!?
Is there a way of modifying the character lcd routine that will allow an 8bit configuration?
Thankyou, regards john

Re: 8bit lcd display
it would be 200u/s per char since it would be sending a full byte instead of nibbles, i don't understand how the defines are used from within flowcode so sorry can't help with the mod's,

Re: 8bit lcd display
Hello,
I have a 8-bit version of the component's C file. It is a bit hacky as I think the port pins are hard coded in the C file itself. Can you confirm which version and varient of Flowcode your using and I will see if my file is compatible.

Hi John,
Here is an 8-bit v4 component C file for AVR. You could maybe have a look at putting the changes across into the PIC version yourself. If your having problems then let me know and I will see if I can make the changes for you.
