Simply the same pins also for the second LCD excluding the pin E of the second LCD, because that is connected with pin J10:RC (pin RC.4 of the PIC CONTROLLER) at the core module. | Simply the same pins also for the second LCD excluding the pin E of the second LCD, because that is connected with pin J10:RC (pin RC.4 of the PIC CONTROLLER) at the core module. | ||

For the moment only KS0108 and HD61202 compatible displays like the 64240A LCD from Displaytech. Other controller types like the T6963C are supported likewise by MIOS, are however too slow, so that they can lead to MIDI Buffer overruns. | For the moment only KS0108 and HD61202 compatible displays like the 64240A LCD from Displaytech.

That can happen, if no Motorfader is attached. In main.asm set the ENABLE_MOTORDRIVER flag to the value set 0, afterwards this effect should disappear. | That can happen, if no Motorfader is attached.
