Now i have change over to a 2x16 lcd and everything works great, so i think my next project must be to learn write to a 1x16 or 2x 1x8 lcd

Nigel Goodwin

Are you able to write to both lines of the 2x16, essentially it's just like writing to the second 8 of the 1x16.

Try printing all ASCII characters at it, loop 0 to 127, and print the ASCII value to the display, when you do this the second part of the display should be filled, starting forty charcaters in.

LCD displays are essentially all 2x40, with the second line continuing from the end of the first 40 character line - the display itself is a 'window' on this 2x40 buffer, and you can scroll it along the buffer with commands.
