Welcome to the PICAXE Forum.

For those readers willing to help but not familiar with the "ew20400yly" display; do you have a link to its datasheet ?

 

[Depori]

Thank you for the quick response I have a pdf of the display
Annex

It appears to just be a standard HD44780-based character LCD. Take a look at this thread: http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=15150 and also Hippy's LCD interfacing page.

Well, not for me.

The page is there, and all the info is there, if you scroll down.

However, the links near the top of the page, and all down the left border, try to jump to Hippy's old freeserve pages.

Well those aren't related to the LCD, but if you really need to see them, you can use the wayback machine to see them. It's quite slow which is why I gave you the link I gave you.

lcd ew 20400yly progress

Hello
I have for my LCD ew 20400yly this program,
it works fine but the LCD has four lines with my 18X
it has 2lijnen.
Can anyone tell me how I get 4 lines?

 

[jtcurneal]

Line 3 is just a continuation of line 1 and line 4 is a continuation of line 2. the 4 line by 20 character LCDs are 2 lines by 40 characters where the rest of lines 1 and 2 become lines 3 and lines 4.

Thank you for the necessary explanation, now I understand a bit more.
A program that makes it clearer would be the max.

Just send more than 20 characters to line 1 and watch what happens. (They will apear on line 3). do the same for line 2 (extras will appear on line 4).
