I'm using AT89S8523 microcontroller.

I want to put two digits (they are together) to blink but I can only put one to blink. How do I put both to blink?

The LCD is a 16x2 and I have to use C language.

Off: Hope this is the right place to put this question.

print the 2 characters - wait a while - delete the 2 characters (erase back by adjusting the cursorposition left and print a blank) - wait a while - print the 2 characters - ....

Man, in the datasheet of your lcd driver, must be an option named "Blink", you only have to put the driver in "blink" mode (as in no-visible cursor), and thats all.

Post your datasheet... in case you cant... but you can...

Good luck!
