I noticed there was not any serial LCD code written for the SX. I converted the BS2 example code into SX code as my first SX code writing. I have attached the last working version B. You can also see the link to show the process I went through with the excellent support by Parallax.

Thanks to Timothy, Jon and Chris for their help. I have tried to convert from pbasic to SX/B and I am still having slim to no success I now need to study your examples and tyr to learn from them. and hopefully begin to develope my own code.

In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, Jon Williams wrote:Start small -- there are differences that need to be accommodated. And remember SX/B is not PBASIC, but it is very similar. Once you learn how SX/B works (and how it differs from PBASIC) you'll be able to take full advantage of it. There are *real* examples in the help file (and more posted here) that should be helpful.

Rsadeika I used the Help/Example projectsSerial LCD to try and get my LCD to work. the code I posted was the result of my efforts. If you look at either Jon's or Timothy's example you will see that I missed a considerable amount of know how. Although their is a lot of information out their you really have to research it to come up with answers. fortunially there is the Parallax forum to help with the really dark area's Mike W ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=98502#m98796 Need assistance?

The SX/B help is about the best resource we have at the moment. Although I can't wait to see Jon's new book (when available) on SX/B. Research your BS2 resources too and do the conversion. There is not many differences as Jon as stated before. Good luck.

I have already figured out that the sample programs only transmit text strings, or anything between "double quotes" how about digits (0 - 9) like a counter or outputing data from a sensor.
