Hi all,
I´m wondering what "serout" command should i use on my atom to see text on all rows.

I actually took that serial backpack from 2x16 lcd display so i´m not even sure if it can drive
4x20 display.

Currently i´m using these commands to row 1 and 2 witch are working just fine.

serout 4, I9600, [27,91,50,74] 'cls
serout 4, i9600, [27,91,49,59,49,72, "Coloum 1 Row 1"]
serout 4, i9600, [27,91,50,59,49,72, "Coloum 2 Row 2"]

but i can't figure out how to write to Row 3 and 4,
if that is even possible with that backpack. ?
Any ideas what command to use, please.

Thank you
Poikkis

I will answer on my own question

That serial backpack what i´m using dosen't support 4x20 mode.
Simple as that. New one ordered
