#102966 - well intended, useless
Responding to: ???'s previous message
well intended, useless because virtually <b.everyone that has attempted to use "canned" LCD code has been screwed.

If you want to "help" write, at least. 20 lines of comment for each line of code.

example:
"if you have a clock speed different from nnn you must change xxx"

The fact that you present "code" with zero comments makes it even worse.

"public domain" software provided on the basis of "take it as is" is tha bane of many developments. I have learned that the only way to use public domain is to spend the time to ?make it your own". You will e.g. have great difficulty recognizing thatmy HW IIC driver is based on CodeArchitect, but using CodeArchitect generated code as a base saved me a lot of time.
