Get

Syntax:

    var = Get(Line, Column)

Command Availability:

Available on all microcontrollers with the LCD R/W line (pin 5) connected, and only when the following constant definition is used: #define LCD_RW. Only available when the LCD is connected using 4-bit or 8-bit mode, and when the constant definition #define LCD_NO_RW is NOT used.

Explanation:

The Get function reads the ASCII character code currently displayed at a given location on the LCD.

Example:

    #define LCD_RW PORTD.1
    Dim CurrentChar As Byte

    CurrentChar = Get(0, 5)          ' <<< the Get instruction

Key line: Get(0, 5) — reads back the ASCII code of whatever character the LCD is currently displaying at line 0, column 5, which requires the R/W line to be wired and enabled via #define LCD_RW.
