A. N. Other mystery solved: the chip is working ok... the LCD glass is designed for 3.3V and I've been running it off 5V... it just gets over contrasted so you can't tell if anything is happening.

Turned it down to 3.3V & voila!

It does what it says on the tin.

Zeity FTW!

And there's cold beer in the fridge.

not give a flip about an itinerary, just get on a plane and see where the wind takes you

Tempting, but I'd just end up getting stressed about what I was doing and where I was going. I want to at least have a rough plan in place and the names of some decent hotels.

I still have that remarkably horrendous data structure to firkle with... in assembler... this may take some time...

16 minutes. Then the A1 to contend with...

Just popped out to the back yard, to make sure the gate was locked.

I notice that as well as the pile of seed trays, there is also a large collection of plant pots, and three large watering cans just outside the back door

There's also numerous small patches of compost spilt in the yard.

Not the most sophisticated dope growing endeavour ever seen then

I'm quite liking this idea of sleeping in beach huts.

So the first digit is arranged like this:

Segment B: bit 0 of LCDDATA0
Segment A: bit 1 of LCDDATA0
Segment F: bit 2 of LCDDATA0

Segment C: bit 0 of LCDDATA3
Segment G: bit 1 of LCDDATA3
Segment E: bit 2 of LCDDATA3

Segment DP: bit 0 of LCDDATA9
Segment D: bit 1 of LCDDATA9
Segment AN: bit 2 of LCDDATA9

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite that nasty...

Especially digit 3 which is shared between LCDDATA0 & LCDDATA1 etc...

At least assembler makes bit-twiddling easy - imagine doing it in Commodore BASIC
