Hey Guys
This may already have been answered, but I recently hacked my CFAH2002A-YMI-JPV into accepting data from my PC's parallel port (by following the handy guide). CrystalControl I seems to run the display just fine, but when I run CrystalControl II, two things happen:
1) When I go to load a module, it doesn't display any module to load. In the file type box it says *.0000, so I have to manually type in *.2002 to get it to display files for my display.
2) NOTHING appears on the LCD screen. It appears unitialized (one row of black blocks on the top row), as it does when it's first plugged in.
Are these bugs with CrystalControl II, and if so what other software out there is good for controlling a HD44780 display?
