5.1.8 Place large digit 254 35 [col] [digit]

This command allows the large digits to be drawn on the LCD screen. Numbers of almost full display

height may be placed along side regular text on four row displays. The column number has a maximum

value which is less than the display width because the digits are all three columns wide.

Before using this command the “Initialize large digits” command must be issued to define the blocks

necessary to make up the digits. If regular text and large digits are mixed on one screen, the user should

always set the display cursor position before placing regular text because the creation of a large digit will

leave the cursor position to the bottom right of the large digit and not at the last regular text write position.

[col] can have values from 0x01 to 0x12 (1 to 18).
[digit] has values from 0x00 to 0x09 (0 to 9).

6 Miscellaneous Commands

The commands listed in this chapter don’t readily fit in any of the other categories, or are used in more

than one category.

6.1 Command List

6.1.1 Clear display (254 88)

This command clears the display and resets the text insertion point to the top left of the screen.

6.1.2 Set Brightness (254 89 [Brightness])

This command sets the display’s brightness to [brightness], where [brightness] is a value between 0x00

and 0x03 (between 0 and 3) according to the table below.
