I just did not understood what all these ff's at the end of the code do.

not pretty I...

Great work Richard!

Works very well. Thank you.

I had to change LCD_COMMANDUS to 2000 from 1500 for best performance.

Re: serial LCD 1602 Backpack using PIC16F690 for Hitach HD44780

a bit out of practice , forgot porta.4 is input only plus 1827 has bits and pieces in other banks

so tested and working version

Re: serial LCD 1602 Backpack using PIC16F690 for Hitach HD44780

maybe the chip?

for my part I used

12F683, 16F690 old regular Pic.

I tried richard code, and it's impressive asm code, that I can't do for sure.

so I stick to basic.
