Hello all. I have created a program that runs perfectly fine on a PIC16F690. The only problem is that I have run out of memory space on the 16F690 so I decided to move to a chip that has a larger memory. I am trying to use the PIC18F4525 but I cannot get the LCD to function properly. Upon power-up, I have a pin flash an LED so I know the micro is working but the display is just showing a divison sign. I am using a PICSTART Plus to program the 18F4525 and am using PICBASIC PRO 2.50A. I have the LCD attached to PORTD of the micro and I am using an external crystal that is 4 Mhz. I have tried two different LCDs but get the same results with each one.
Is there anything that discusses using PICBASIC Pro with the 18F series? I have looked through the datasheet and tried looking all through the forum. The only thing I can find is that a lot of people have problems with the configurations fuses with the 18F series. I was having problems as well but I have just commented out them out for the time being. I set the config bits in MPLAB prior to programming the 18F4525. I don't really know much about modifying the .inc files. If there are any guides on this, this would be quite helpful as well.
If anyone can please provide me with any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.
Here is a some of the code.
