Starting over with PICBasic Pro 3

Do you have communication between F84 and Pickit2?

For the benefit of anyone who might land on this thread in the future, here's some code that works.

Include "modedefs.bas"
serout 0,T2400,["?BFF"] ' Set LCD backlight to maximum brightness.
PAUSE 200 ' Pause to allow LCD EEPROM to program.
SEROUT 0,T2400,["?G216"]' Configure the LCD geometry: 2x16.
PAUSE 200 ' Pause to allow LCD EEPROM to program.

main:
pause 1000 ' Wait for the LCD to startup.
serout 0,T2400,["?f"] ' Clear the screen.
pause 1000 ' Wait one second.
serout 0,T2400,["Wherever you go,"] ' Send the string "Wherever you go,".
serout 0,T2400,["?m"] ' Move the cursor to the second line.
serout 0,T2400,[" there you are."] ' Send the string " there you are."
pause 1000 ' Wait one second.
goto main ' Do it again.


ETA: I do get an error message from the PICkit2: Verification of configuration failed.
But the LCD works.
