4x20 LCD custom characters

[mackowiakp]

I added to _P012_LCD.ino possibility to define own characters, using CGRAM feature. It works with my language character as picture shows:

LCD.jpg (49.68 KiB) Viewed 32975 times

The problem is that it is possibility to define only 8 characters while in my language are 18 characters different to ASCII (9 lower and 9 upper case).
At this moment definitions are static. So now I work on possibility to dynamically define such characters. Of course at the one "page" of display there will be always possibility to use only 8 from 18 characters. But it is enough.
During this work, I came across an obstacle that I "fought" for quite a long time.
Well, if we define anything on the address 0x00 CGRAM, then this character is displayed as "null" (not "space") and the character defined on the address 0x01 is distorted.
However, if we define the same character at address 0x00 and at the same time at address 0x08 (which according to docu is not possible), then the character with address 0x00 is still displayed as "null" but the character with address 0x08 is displayed correctly. In addition, the character with address 0x01 is not distorted.

I realize that all what I write here is completely incompatible with the documentation or examples that are available on the Internet. I wonder now. Is it the fault of particular display copies I bought or is it some "undocumented feature" of the LiquidCrystal_I2C.h library. In particular the lcd.createChar command. Or maybe something else?
Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

EDIT 1
I forgot to write that logs stands that LCD characters code send by LCD command from rule are correct.

A bit late to answer but here's my experience : I modified P012 to add some special chars, it works see pic.

When I try to add them to an HTTP URL in order to display them from a Domoticz script, I can call them using that :

00 %08
01 %01
02 No way, not %02 or %09
03 No way, not %03 or %0a
04 %04
05 %05

I'll try with other value but I think 06 and 07 may work so I may just skip 02 & 03...

Here's my script : (copy paste missed up the structure a bit)

@mackowiakp could you add instruction on how to add national characters?
I'm not sure where and how to add them.

If you look at my modified P012.ino code, it's below the ////Grumpf////
You just have to create your character and replace it.

Sorry for the long delay in responding, but I was in India. And I came back, not with COVID but with some parasite. And I had to "visit" the Institute of Maritime and Tropical Medicine.
So attached here is the code for the LCD plugin, which contains definitions for Polish national characters.
Only that it works for sure with the ESPEasy_mega-20191208 version. Compiling with newer versions produces some errors. However, I did not deal with adapting this code to newer versions of ESPEasy, because the ESPEasy_mega-20191208 version works perfectly for me, without any HW/SW/Watchdog-reboot. And I will not change anything that works perfectly for me.
Also please read the first post in this thread. I had problems with defining national characters and to this day I do not know whether the fault lies in the type of device or in the particular copy of the device I have. I have not tried this code with another display.

I can add it wrapped in a define for Polish characters, so they don't add to the bin size when not used.

[mackowiakp]

Nice idea!
