Hi
I have a problem that I am not the only one to have as
I have noticed on the net. No one has however been
able to come up with a usefull explanation.

My 16*1 lcd shows only the 8 left characters.
I have tried upperline/lowerline, locate 1,10 but
nothing works.
There has been suggestions that the last 8 characters should
have another address but I really don't know how to do that.
anyone out there who knows?
