-====== MIOS LCD Offsets ====== 
- 
- 
-Some words by TK in response to [[http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=5110.0|this question]]: 
-\\ 
- 
-The display offsets are handled by MIOS in a way which allows to use the same cursor positions on any kind of LCD. With MIOS_LCD_YAddressSet the LCD specific cursor offsets are mapped to the MIOS specific cursor offsets.\\ 
-\\ 
-**64 characters (0x40) are reserved for each line**, up to 4 lines are (natively) supported:\\ 
-1st line begins at 0x00\\ 
-2nd line begins at 0x40\\ 
-3rd line begins at 0x80\\ 
-4th line begins at 0xc0\\ 
-\\ 
-And these lines have to be mapped to the real address offsets of your LCD - this can normaly be found in the datasheet, the most common cases are documented in the functional description of MIOS_LCD_YAddressSet: [[http://www.ucapps.de/mios_fun.html#MIOS_LCD_YAddressSet]]\\ 
-\\ 
-For a 2x40 following settings are working:\\ 
-Y0: 0x00\\ 
-Y1: 0x40\\ 
-Y2: doesn't matter (*)\\ 
-Y3: doesn't matter (*)\\ 
-\\ 
-(*) note: if a value between 0x80...0xff is specified here, it is assumed that the 3rd and 4th line is mapped to a second LCD\\ 
-\\ 
-Centering the screen just means to add additional offsets to these addresses, e.g. let's say you've a 2x40 display, but only 16 columns are used, this means that you need to add 12 to each offset:\\ 
-Y0: 0x00 + (40-16)/2\\ 
-Y1: 0x40 + (40-16)/2\\ 
-Y2: doesn't matter (*)\\ 
-Y3: doesn't matter (*)\\ 
-\\ 
-Thats how MIOS supports LCDs. \\
