LCDOUT with PIC16F648a

HI,

I am now just startin with LCDout commands. I made the circuit that is shown in the pic basic pro manual on page 96.
I am using this simple command

LCDOUT $FE,1,“Hello”

but nothing is showing,
the backlight is turn on.
I think the diagram should work as the default, therefore no configuration of the DEFINES right?
Is there a quick test I can do to check if it is connected as it should ?

Hi Ken,

Check the contrast pot. It may be too dim to see.

Yes that was it,
thank you
