I want a couple of the SparkFun serial LCD’s for an application of mine, but they’re all out of stock. I notice there’s source code posted for the serial LCD backpack. Is it OK to use this for my (educational) project? If so, could someone point me in the direction of the appropriate compiler/programmer? I’m currently using the MPLAB suite, but the code provided looks like it uses a different compiler.
bump…
I would try an email…
I’m not sure how often the employees check the forums…
Thanks. Will do.
If you look at the provided datasheet, they use a 16F688 PIC.
The zip file contains a pre compiled .hex file, an assembly .asm file, and a C .c file. You could just burn the .hex file straight to your 16F688.
Thanks. I did finally think of that, but didn’t post it. I’ll try it out and post the results.
