OK - I have new library code - I'm calling it version 0.1 - please don't use the previous code. I hope the delays are implemented correctly as they seem to be working fine with my LCD.

Please send me your comments and experience with the new version of this library.

teedeeus: I agree with what you are trying to do with the LCD library - here are some comments, both pro and con, on what you have done so far. I hope you can use them to refine your project. In my opinion removing the 8-bit stuff from the library is a good idea. I can't see any reason to try to ac...

I just got done modifying the original LiquidCrystal() library that comes with the Arduino IDE to use only 4 data lines, enable and rs. I thought the LCD4Bit library was great but didn't like having to recompile the library every time I needed to change pins for the LCD. This way any pins can be use...

I'm sorry, but I have not been able to find the answer to this question on the web. Am using BBB w/ Arduino Duemilanove / Atmega328. What is current sourcing capacity of an individual digital output pin (that is: pin connected to resistor connected to LED connected to ground)? Also what is current ...

I noticed a potential problem with the global variable i in this code. When you get done setting your outputs, i will contain 11. The loop adds 1 to i so the first binary number displayed will be 12. Personally I prefer to initialize my loop variables ( i , j , k ,etc) within the loop they are used ...

There is some code here that would have to be modified for your application: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1236705296 , but that should give you a starting point. For beginners, remember not to connect anything to digital pins 0 and 1 as they are used for uploading your sketch. Use...
