LCD software
 

ok, need some recommendations from those of you with similar hardware. I just rigged up a 2x16 lcd i pulled out of a phone the other day. its got the standard HD44780 controller in it. (viewing area 15/16"x3 7x8" :D ) i got it running using lcdcenter 3.0 the only problem is that it won't read off of MBM like its supposed to. i've got the latest version of MBM installed on my machine and it works. so my question is - what are some of the commonly used freeware lcd software packages out there? or any thoughts as to why lcdcenter isn't working for me? thanks a lot.

you could try the crystalcontrol software; I think it works with HD44780s.

Try LCDsmartie from http://backupteam.gamepoint.net/smartie/

I´m using that one, but if you like to play around alot try jaLCD (don´t have the URL)

Thanks for the info guys. That oughta take care of things. I have it installed now also. Check out This thread to see what i did with it, and trust me, you probably haven't seen this done with an lcd display before. ;) hehehe

pH, thanks for the heads-up for the crystalcontrol software, it works beautifully! heck of a lot more intelligent than lcdcenter. we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. ;)
