MicroPython Forum (Archive)

Hi,

New to the forum but I received my pyBoard and all the associated bits and bobs. I have the board working and I have the LCD Skin working and all is well.

So my questions:

1, Are there any docs on the AMP skin yet?
2, Does anyone know the syntax and usage of pyb.LCD.command? It seems to take 2 arguements and I think they are both int but was hoping there are some notes somewhere. I am hoping there are some positional commands for the cursor in there.

Thanks and am loving the board

On page 7 of the LCD specs (or page 50 of the controller specs) you will find e.g. this line:

(9) Display normal/reverse | 0 1 0 | 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0/1 | Sets the LCD display normal/reverse, 0: normal, 1: reverse

So to set it to reverse, convert 10100111 to hex (A7) and then use:

To set it back to normal, this will do:

Note that the contents will stay. Even a lcd.show() will show the new contents reversed until you set it to normal again.
