TruePosition on the Arduino

The address on my display is 0x3F.

I have a kit that was put together by the Packrats and the display works with their code.

Has anyone been able to get the Packrat software to work with a display? I
have been successful getting the Arduino board to initialize the
Trueposition board but can't get the display right.

The problem seems to be getting the I2C addressing correct. There are
several 16x2 line displays available but they address at 0x20 to 0x27 and
0x38 to 0x3F. Neither of these work.

Since we do not have the source, is there any way to find out what address
is in use?

Ben -
I assume that you never received the Arduino "C code"
written by Bruce, WA3YUE for the original project?

Club's Powerpoint presentation indicated that source code was available.

Packrat GPS Project (Gary, WA2OMY; Bruce, WA3YUE; George, KA3WXV) with
TruePosition GPSDO and Arduino
by The Mt. Airy VHF Radio Club "Pack Rats" (Southampton, PA).

I'm getting to the point that once I've got the button logic working, I'll
send out my source to anyone who wants to take a look at it or use it.
I will stipulate one condition - you can't make too much fun of how poorly
programmed it is.  ;)
thanks much and 73,
