Alright, things seem to be working much better after talking about it. I decided to take the advice and just go with the standard skeleton. After some tweeking, I'm right back where I was. Thanks a lot.

The build date on the wrapper that I'm using is from 1/31/08. I downloaded the new skeleton but it seems to want to shuffle up the set up I have working now. I might nix the whole thing and see what I can do. The latest skeleton is set up for codeblocks but I never seem to get that stuff working right. I'll keep playing with it for now. It just doesn't make sense how it could work with printchar and not printstring. Weird.

Well, I thought I was being pretty straightforward..... so here's code: THIS works: MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0x00); MIOS_LCD_PrintChar( 'M' ); MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0x01); MIOS_LCD_PrintChar( 'I' ); MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0x02); MIOS_LCD_PrintChar( 'O' ); MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0x03); MIOS_LCD_PrintChar( 'S' ); MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0x40); This does not: MIOS_LCD_PrintCString("MIOS"); MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0x80); or even: MIOS_LCD_PrintCString(strings[0]); Call me crazy, but it doesn't work. What it looks like are random characters but always the same depending on what I'm trying to output. The reason for no code previously was that the code was so simple that I didn't think it was required. Anyway, there you go.

I'm sure this has been solved in the past but after sorting through a load of threads, I decided to just start one here.... So, I wanted to print something to the screen using PrintCString. Random characters. I thought possibly I needed to set my lcd... nothing. I also tried PrintChar and that works perfectly. Theoretically, I COULD just use that command over and over again to print out HELLO WORLD but that would just be stupid. Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks a lot in advance. Just to elaborate, I'm using a 4x20 lcd. I can print all 4 lines from MIOS studio clearly and can print my random nonsense to selected lines. Weird stuff.
