Introduction
The Parallax Serial LCDs are very functional, low-cost LCDs that can be easily
controlled by a BASIC Stamp® microcontroller. The LCD displays are either two rows
by 16 characters or four rows by 16 characters, and provide basic text wrapping so that
your text looks right on the display. In addition, the Serial LCDs also provide you with
full control over all of their advanced LCD features, allowing you to move the cursor
anywhere on the display with a single instruction and turn the display on and off in any
configuration. They support the same visible characters as the BASIC Stamp Editor's
Debug Terminal (ASCII Dec 32-127). In addition, you may define up to eight of your
own custom characters to display anywhere on the LCD.
Application Ideas
What can you do with a Parallax Serial LCD? While there are many possibilities, here's a
small list of ideas that can be realized with a Serial LCD and the Parallax BASIC Stamp:
• A professional-looking text user interface on any microcontroller application
• Easy-to-implement serial debugging without a PC
• Real-time sensor data output on autonomous robotics applications (Boe-Bot®,
Toddler®, SumoBot®)
