I have an Arduino Due interfeced to an LCD (4 line x 20 char).
Its a standard connection scheme using all 8 data bits in this case.
Here is my issue:
I have a program that prints values from 7 analog inputs A0-A6.
I write to A0-A3 in char position 0, lines 0-3 and A4-A6 in char position 01, lines 0-2 in a continuos loop.
My problem is the postion of each value start out as ok but after a little while the items bounce around in
location and it all gets messed up. Im puzzled. Can anyone offer ideas? Ive tried quite a bit to fix it.
Here is my code that Im running in the Arduino Due.
Thanks.
