Hi, Daniel

Could you post your LCD ref. ... I use every day a SPL controlled 2x16 Display instead of a classical 44780 , aboard my EasyPic5 Board.

So, I'd recommand you to check twice your LCD Wiring ... R/W pin grounded ??? Contrast set ???

To the end you could try LCD_COMMANDUS 2500 ... I noted my 2*8 LCDs to be a bit " lazy " ... and they need 2000 at least.

Did you try ... another 2x8 LCD ??? a damaged device is always possible ...
