SerLCD v2.5 Control Code Help

Can someone explain to me how the functions associated with the serlcd back work. I’ve tried every combination to change the splash screen but nothing works. I’ve send out a 124 followed by a j, but I’m not familar with this process. I’m programming in picaxe.

You have to send the ASCII control+j code, not a literal “j” - this isn’t too well documented, I suppose. Here’s a list of all the control codes:

Out of interest, what PICAXE are you using? I’ve found that to talk at 9600 baud, you need to have the PICAXE running at 8MHz or more - the 18Xs I was using run at 4MHz by default, so I had to multiply the clock to get it to talk. It can then be set down to 4200bps but it doesn’t seem to store this setting.
