LCD HD44780 the cursor is displayed inside the character

LCD HD44780 the cursor is displayed under the character, and the blink function does not make the cursor blink but alternates the cursor with the character above and a black rectangle if the cursor is active otherwise it alternates character with a black rectangle.
I don't have the display but I tried with another simulator and saw some videos on youtube.

Can you provide your code?

It is working OK for me:

Code:

void setup()
{
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  
  lcd.setCursor( 0, 0 );
  lcd.print("NO CURSOR");
  delay(2000);
  
  lcd.cursor();
  lcd.setCursor( 0, 1 );
  lcd.print("CURSOR");

  delay(2000);
  lcd.blink();
}

From the tests with another simulator and video, the display should show as in the image below.
It's not a problem it can go too so just know it displays a little differently.

Thanks for the pictures, Now I understand:

- Cursor position is wrong: should be below the character.
- Blink color is wrong: should be black.
- In adition blink speed is too slow.

Hopefully solved at Rev 218.

In the repository:

the option download tarball does not work gives the error:

the option download tarball does not work gives the error:

Didn't know this option even existed.
Did it work before?

In any case the best way is to keep a copy of the repository:
bzr branch lp:simulide/0.4.15

And update it whenever you want:
bzr pull

The new display shows the black blink rectangle instead of the user-defined characters.

I used the following code for testing:

Sorry, there is a missing line.

In hd44780_base.cpp, Hd44780_Base::paint, around line 325:

Code:

if( char_num < 8 )                        // CGRam Character
{
    charact = m_fontImg.copy( 0, 0, 10, 16 ); // <=====  MISSING LINE
    int addr = char_num*8;

    for( int y=0; y<14; y+=2 )

Anyway I did some other optimization.

This issue should be solved at Rev 221.
