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.
