Hi, I'm currently using a 4x20 text LCD as a menu display. I have been able to get the menu to scroll vertically, but it scrolls by individual lines. Would a graphics LCD be the way to go to achieve pixel scrolling, or are there some text LCD's that allow this ability?
yes Graphics LCD is the way to go if you want to go a vertical scroll. Character LCD's only let you control individual rows of characters. In graphic LCD's you can control a row of pixels.
