Serial LCD Simulation Display Problems

[dartec]

Hi,

I have used PICAXE before (pure hobby) and was hooked again when I saw the Proteus VSM, duely bought, better to damage virtual circuit than physical.

However, this is my 3rd post in as many days and I appreciate the time from the forum. But I have been testing the serial lcd and the displays is not as expected.

My programme is simple:

main:
serout 7,N2400,("Hello")
pause 500
serout 7,N2400,(254,128)
pause 500
serout 7,N2400,(" ")
pause 500
goto main

This works in the Programme Editor but when run in VSM I get random chars, please what have I not done or missed?

Regards
Ray

Can you post your circuit?

Have a look at the VSM sample file \PICAXE\Products\AXE110 datalogger.dsn

It has an example of a working AXE033 circuit. Note that in simulation you may need to use T2400 rather than N2400, this is a limitation of the model.

Sorry for delay in logging on.

SilentScreamer: not sure how to post circuit.

Technical; tried T2400 instead and it appears to work. Forgot about datalogger circuit so will check that too.

Many thanks to both of you for your replies.
