Make sure you're using a higher crystal speed than 4 MHZ or use DEBUG instead

If you're using >4MHZ, make sure you set HS_OSC mode in your config fuses (see the FAQ)

Some serial LCD may need to receive CR AND LF before writing to the LCD. So change

Code:

---

serout portb.1, 2, ["Hello World"]

---

to

Code:

---

serout portb.1, 2, ["Hello World",13,10]

---

try this too

Code:

---

TRISB.1=0
DEFINE DEBUG_REG PORTB
DEFINE DEBUG_BIT 1
DEFINE DEBUG_BAUD 9600
DEFINE DEBUG_MODE 0

Start:
    debug  $FE,1
    pause 40
    debug "HELLO",13,10
    pause 1000
    goto start

---

if it doesn't work, tell us more about your hardware : crystal speed, LCD model... etc etc etc
