Hi,
I'm trying to write on the 2nd and 4th line of my 2004a LCD.
Im using it in parallel (DB0-DB7) and not in I2C. Therefore I have to manually write.
For now, in both 1- and 2-row configuration when I write something it gets displayed on the 1st row and then it goes to the 3rd row as expected.
I would like to be able to address the 2nd and 4th row too but in the SPLC780D Datasheet as well as online I couldn't find any help.
Whit SetDDRAMLCD() it doesn't seem like it's working right even if i use the same commands as in the datasheet example.
Attached is the LCD.c I'm using

I don't do C and cannot find where you are setting the cursor to the desired line. Are you doing something like this (numbers are hex):

Thank you for your answer.
I'm figuring out that the problem is not the code (for now) but it's something with the voltages. Only 2 lines were active/responsive to the contrast (line 0 and line 2). So I guess this is why I didn't saw line 1 and line 3. I was using +3.3 V and when I switched to +5V Vcc for the display now all the lines are displayed. The contrast is off between line 0-2 and 1-3 tho. I thought they would behave all the same way with the voltages but apparently not
