SUMMARY
Both distance and tilt measurements lend themselves to bar graph displays. Most bar
graphs can be done using only one or two of the Parallax Serial LCD's eight custom
character memory slots. The custom character definitions for bar graphs can either be
stored in the BASIC Stamp EEPROM, or defined by code that relates the value being
graphed to the number of pixel lines or columns that need to be displayed.
Storing custom characters in EEPROM involves
each. The lower five bits of each byte store the bit pattern for each of the eight (five-
pixel-wide) lines that make up a character.
make it possible to copy the starting address of the bytes in a given
variable.
operations that sequentially copy bytes to a variable, then send the contents of that
variable to the LCD.
Displaying bar graphs is typically more memory-efficient if the characters can be
generated based on the value. When the bar graph is horizontal, a
useful for storing binary values that correspond to the number of columns that will have
black pixels in a given custom character. For vertical graphs, bits can be shifted into a
variable. In either case, subroutines can examine the bits in a variable, then darken pixels
in a certain number of rows or columns in a character.
