Hi Nasim,

How's this for an example, used in the same way as you would an Alphanumeric LCD.

The glcd and character displays are very different beasts and you need to work on your code a bit.

Happily, flowcode 7 has easy macros to help you out and saves some icons in the way if youre using gLCD.
But you just need to start moving in your code through, and coding the glcd manually to same way as LCD.
Basically, in the below you see example of 16x2 lcd code modified to be working with GLCD.

16x2LCD: GLCD:

Thanks: Ben. the display works good .only thing is missing to get the necessary current value to 3v3 to get the contrast ok
the data sheet that I receive is very small to understand the necessary current to calculate V/I to get the Value for Resistor
can you please send me an expanded copy of datasheet or the needed current value .
with regards
Nasim

Hi Nasim,

You cannot convert 5V to 3V3 to drive the display with a resistor based potential divider. You will need a 3V3 voltage regulator to be able to provide the current required.
