Enable Cursor
Format
1B 07
Description
This command causes a flashing cursor to be used whenever the Display On state is in
force. When the cursor is enabled, the cursor is visible and flashing at the current cursor
position. The flashing cursor should be visible for 1 second and then the character at the
cursor position should be visible for 1 second. The effect is to alternate between the
character and the cursor. The cursor is defined as character 0X5F of whatever character
set is currently chosen. For the three supported character sets, the cursor is the bottom
row of pixels turned on. For a user-defined character set, the cursor is whatever is
defined as character 0X5F of the character set. When the cursor is enabled, it overwrites
the character at the cursor position. If the cursor is disabled, the character at the cursor
position is left visible.
Note: Note: The cursor on the LCD blinks on and off every .5 second. The cursor
displays concurrently with whatever character may already be displayed at the cursor
position.
