Hello everybody!

Someone can tell me if there is any library that can do this?

http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,7245.0.html

Can someone help me?

Hi,

I haven't tried it, but the code in the link you provided looks pretty straight
forward! Why not just convert the Arduino code to CCS, and give it a try?

The first step is to create the 5 custom characters. Most character type
displays allow you to do this, and there are many examples in the forum
archives to do this!

Thank you John,

I wonder if there is something even ready. A library. And if it is possible to do using 4 lines of communication.

Any help is welcome!

thank you

Scott Edwards did it years ago....www.seetron.com...
Though written in Basic , it's very easy to 'port' over to CCS C and would be a nice addition to the 'library' forum.

and yes, quite 'doable' in 4bit mode.

yet another 'project' I haven't got around to doing....sigh

The document here (http://old.seetron.com/)gives a great tutorial on how
to generate large characters on an LCD. Once you get an LCD working
it should make the large characters easy.

This thread has sample code to display custom characters on a 16x2 LCD
(8 characters maximum):
