k thnka for the help. portA.3 needs to work as Anologue to digital input so ill need to read the data sheet for that. and there is a voltage referance control on portA.5 i think as well. i havent got to that part yet. i am in HS programming mode, an it seems to work fine. timming is not absolutly critical in my design, as most of the machinary control is relative. but m question is about the LCD screens "memory". does my inititalization code look right? remeber all the instruction commands work. just the display data is always blank, meaning, if i want to display 123 on the screen,the cursor will move to the right 3 places thinking that is just wrote the 123 but the screen is blank except for the cursor.
do i need to tell it where the CG or DD memory banks start?
