National characters

Post by DotA_Player »

Hello, is there any way to load another national character set ? I saw some displays with russia symbols (no custom chars). If I am showing an czech RSS with czech symbols (ě ? č ř ? ? ? ? ? ů ? . . .[hope you'll see it]) or if I am using process plugin and there's czech symbol sometime it use two char on display instead of one special czech. For example, smartie is using ? symbol for block. My brother said that it's possible to load another character set. Any suggestion ?

The standard HD44780 (and compatible like KS0066, KS0073) LCD modules have a fixed (manufacturer pre-programmed) character table that cannot be changed by the user. The LCDs are available with a few different character sets (Cyrillic, Japanese, European) so you have to buy one that has a character set that suits your language.

There are some intelligent LCD modules that have user-selectable or modifiable character sets, but these are less common.
