Just received my new PIC-LCD3310

Thanks a million Karma!! I found a little success. I connected the ole pickit2 and first uploaded the demo file. then programed the BL you Walter provided. The PC software said it connected so I tried programming with one of Walters files from the linked thread. I was hoping to have a screen that said something. But I got nothing. So back to the pickit and reprogrammed the demo. Well that worked again, so I must assume The program I tried to run just wasn't going to work. I must admit, I didn't really do much, here is the code as I tried it.

DEFINE OSC 48
DEFINE BOOTLOADER_USED =1  '{- I added this line
include "modedefs.bas"
include "LCD_3310v32.inc"         '{- I modified this for the inc in the zip
start:

@ PrintStr  0,0, "I love being"
@ PrintStr  0,1, "able to print "
@ PrintStr  0,2, "so easily!"

end                                        '{added cuz it seemed right

Seems like I also tried to use it without the bootloader, of course without the define for it. Still no joy

Ok I can blink the LED's

DEFINE OSC 20               ' this makes the pauses be correct time
'DEFINE LOADER_USED 1
include "modedefs.bas"
include "LCD_3310v32.inc"
start:

@ PrintStr  0,0, "I love being"
@ PrintStr  0,1, "able to print "
@ PrintStr  0,2, "so easily!"
low porte.2
pause 1000
low porte.3
pause 1000
high porte.2
pause 1000
high porte.3
pause 1000
goto start
end

but only if I program from MPLAB with no BL. and no LCD message
