16f88 to parallax 2x16 lcd

[rdxbam]

yes, i did get it to work. and yes, i am able to get a LED to blink from PORTB.3 and get string of char's to display on the LCD now.

and, this is whether i set INTRC_OSC or EXTRC_OSC. although i am not using an external OSC!

for my current code, at least from the process of elimination, having these two values, "DEFINE OSC x" and "OSCCON= x" set correctly made the difference along with the baud rate.

thanks!

Hey Mackrackit,

forgot to mention this...SEROUT2 vs SEROUT. i.e., SEROUT2 didn't work for me. once i switched to SEROUT, along with the other modifications, it has worked well. looks like some diff with the "true" or "inverted" mods with baud?? as i'm new to this hard to say for sure...

thanks!

Just for fun now that it is working, try the SEROUT2 again.
SEROUT is 8N1 so SEROUT2 396 should work. But maybe that is why MELABS has SEROUT so it works with Stamp stuff??

SEROUT2 396 worked

>>But maybe that is why MELABS has SEROUT so it works with Stamp stuff??

they are similar to the BS2 commands according to the PBP docs:

i think, in my case, not getting the OSC & OSCCON defined correctly was throwing my troubleshooting off, and thus, at times, incorrectly thinking SEROUT2 was not working.
