SparkFun serial LCD adapter API

[spamiam]

Here are 2 files to interface to the SParkFun (www.sparkfun.com) serial LCD adapter board. They sell well priced LCD displays and a nice serial adapter board. The serial adapter will work with ALL 14 or 16 pin standard displays.

This code will interface to their serial adapter. It started life as the Netmedia LCD interface code, then was highly modified to use the SpparkFun hardware, and was modified more to use the ZX hardware/firmware. It uses the same commands as the Netmedia LCD API.

Note: When buying the SparkFun devices, buy the LCD and the Serial adpater separately. The separate adapter has user-settable characteristics (number of lines, and characters per line). When bought as a combined unit, then the LCD characteristics are burned in place and are not user-settable.
