PPRINT...Erm WHAT??

[SeanG_65]

Hi All,

I downloaded this code to modify and use in a piece of test equipment I am designing;

But it won't compile saying that the command PRINT FONT ArialK____12 throws an error.

Anyone have an idea what I'm missing please?

Pprint is a third party application that has, long since, been abandoned. My good friend Tim wrote it many years ago, so he could have large characters on the KS0108 LCD I had just added to the compiler.


It is fully open source and installed with the compiler so it can be modified to work with the latest compiler, but it has not been fully compatible for many years now.

Hi Top204, Thanks for the heads up on that.

I'm stuck now as I still need to print large characters for my TE project. Is there a way to do this without getting into silly levels of coding?

I want a 55,000 count at the top and a scrolling bargraph (already done) in the bottom half of the display. The unit is a datalogger with a "Trend" graph at the bottom and a "latest data" as a voltage on the top. It's for battery characterisation.
