Hello,
I purchased the SparkFun Serial Enabled LCD Kit in 2017. I assembled it then and it worked well. It still works today!
I’m working on a new product and want to use this display for it. We’ll probably sell a couple hundred a year. It will be the display for a low-frequency (<100 Hz) counter. Since the processor has more capability than is being used, I would like to modify the code for the kit.
Is the code that is available on GitHub the actual code in the kit?
I don’t want to load code that will break the display. I work in Microchip Studio, MPLAB X, and Arduino IDE’s and have various tools for getting code into chips, so there is no issue programming 328P processors.
I wrote a simple program for a 328PB Xplained Mini that talks to the Serial Enabled Kit. I tried to disable the splash screen by sending an 0xFE followed by a 0x1E and it did not work. Other commands work; for example, I can turn the display Off & On (0xFE 0x08 & 0xFE 0x0C)
Any suggestions welcome.
