Hi
I have just discovered the world of PICAXE after wanting to make a digital dasboard for my car.
I have bought a prebuilt 28x1 darlington board (ext resonator) from Rev-Ed and a serial LCD display and driver (ext resonator) from P Anderson.
When i attach the 2 together the sample program supplied by P Anderson appears 'garbled' by the time it displays on the screen.
I have tried using 4.5 and 6 volt batteries and 5.0v from a regulated PSU. This seems to make no difference (except to the contrast on the display).
There is an 18 pin chip on the LCD display.
Any ideas greatly welcomed as this is all very new to me.
Cheers
Kevin
