With the command "Deflcdchar" we can create up to 8 special characters in the 16x2 lcd display. How can I create more than 8 special characters in bascom AVR on this display? I'm using Atemga328P-MU. Thank you for your help.

(BASCOM-AVR version : 2.0.7.8 , Latest : 2.0.7.8 )

Hi Gilson,

You can't .....

This is a limitation of the LCD Ram.

You can use one group of 8 diferent characters, but you can change for other group of 8 characters each time you need. This way you can have many characters, but only 8 at a time.

Really, I can use 8 different characters as per the need of each writing. Had not remembered this feature, thank you friend.
