Hello All
Is there a way to use a 16x4 in flowcode 6 LCD
I see the 16x2 but not a 16x4

Re: LCD 16x4
Thank you electron67
Never thought to look in Search I was looking in the drop down "Outputs"
Off to design a 16x4 or maybe a 20x4
All the best

Hello electron67
I tried to find a 16x4 LCD for a reasonable price
So I purchased a 20x4 and will give that a go.
Have you worked with the 20x4 ?
I see there is 2 ways to send info.
1. Parallel
2. Serial ?

Hello John,
if you do not have enough pin of the PIC, you can use an I2C adapter or send data with the same configuration that you use a 16x2 LCD you simply adapt the column or raw where you need to accommodate the data with the cursor (x, y).

Re: LCD 16x4
Hi John,
the 20x4 is wired exactly the same as 16x2.
The pins to use can be found on this datasheet on page 7.
LCD's can be wired in 4 bit (using a total of 6 MCU pins) or 8bit (using a total of 10 MCU pins)
The standard way for flowcode is to use 4bit mode.
