2x16 Alphanumeric LCD Character Addresses

We have tested the OPTEX DMC-16202NY 2x16 display. The initialization code (labeled initlcd) in "PIC'n Up The Pace" or "Microcontrol'n Apps" works with the DMC-16202.

First, another way of thinking about a 1x16 display (1/16 duty) is that the first 8 characters are on line 1 and the second 8 characters are on line 2, even though the device has one line.

For the OPTEX DMC-16202NY 2x16 display (1/16 duty), the DD RAM addresses are:

			DD Ram Addresses	Starting Address Command
	Line 1		00   to   0F		0x80
	Line 2		40   to   4F		0xC0

With this in mind, the LCD code in "PIC'n Up The Pace" or "Microcontrol'n Apps" can be modified easily to work with the DMC-162092, and then expanded to suit your needs.
