New user frustration (16F688 + LCD)

[wcpesp]

Hi Henrik,

Yes, in the period of time since I posted my schematic, I learned that RA3 is input-only. I was in the process of re-mapping all of my PortA connections to PortC, which is also what you suggested. Now I have high hopes that this may work! I will post an update after testing......

Thanks again,

Bill

If you get LCD working.

I'm not on PBP3 but shouldn't it be:

LCDOUT $FE,$C0,"Hello."

and

LCDOUT $FE,$C0,"World."

Depends on what you want to do. $FE, $1 clears the display while $FE, $C0 moves the cursor to the second line. Neither is wrong...
Either way it has nothing to do with the version of PBP, it's the way the HD44780 controller on the LCD works.
