This is a sign that the lcd controller is not initialized. A typical init sequence is:

0x38 [wait 4mS] 0x38 [wait 100uS] 0x38 0x38 0x08 0x01 0x06 0x0C

just like the data sheet shows. Apparently LCDOUT is not performing the init. I think it has an internal flag to keep track of the init, and it probably thinks it doesn't need to do it again. I'm not really familiar with that code.

Does anyone know how to 'manually send' those commands? What is 0x38, etc?
