For some reason, whenever I tell the LCD+ to set/reset any of the on- board relays by sending two bytes to the LCD+, 18 Decimal followed by 1~255 Decimal, the LCD+ spits an 82 Decimal back at me. Now, in the LCD+ documentation it mentions that the first byte I send the LCD+ (18 Decimal) is a CTRL-R. Is the LCD+ echoing this "R" from a CTRL-R back at me for a reason? None of the other two byte CTRL- Character functions seem to echo anything back at me... for instance, position cursor, 16 Decimal (CTRL-P) followed by 1~80 Decimal. Only the set/reset relays function spits back an unexpected comm character and it's always 82 Decimal (R). I don't have anything connected to the relays to induce a power fluctuation or anything like that. Was just surprised at the unexpected comm character I get when talking to the relay chip on the LCD+. TIA
