LCD Delay Ports
« on: August 15, 2011, 10:46:50 am »
If ports 29-2C are told to delay with LCD commands, will the calculator continue running code during the delay, or will it halt until the byte of data has been sent to the LCD successfully?

It just waits the number of T-states that are 1/4 the port's value.
So, to answer your questions, no, it will not continue executing, and no, it will not wait for the byte to be successfully sent. It will just wait a certain amount of time.
