need serial 20x4 lcd code example

[saulius659]

Here is my code:
main:
pause 1000 ' wait for the LCD to startup
serout PortA.0,0,[$FE,$01] ' clear the screen
serout PortA.0,0,["Hello world !"] ' send string “Wherever you go”
serout PortA.0,0,[$FE,$C0] ' move the cursor to the 2nd line
serout PortA.0,0,[" Here we are "] ' send string “ there you are ”
pause 1000 ' pause for a second
goto main ' loop

Picture what i see is bellow.

I don't see your configs or defines. That's usually where the issue lies.

This linkhttp://www.picaxe.com/docs/axe134.pdf has a test program. Did that work?

That has been done before by Darrel. Check this link

It works fine with picaxe 08M2 and 20X2 i use. Also ok in parallel mode with pic. Only a problem conecting 20x4 to pic16f628a or 877a in serial.
For 16x2 i do not use any config or define settings and it works ok. Maybe you know what settings shoud i try??

Have you tried

main:
pause 1000 ' wait for the LCD to startup
serout PortA.0,4,[$FE,$01] ' clear the screen
serout PortA.0,4,["Hello world !"] ' send string “Wherever you go”
serout PortA.0,4,[$FE,$C0] ' move the cursor to the 2nd line
serout PortA.0,4,[" Here we are "] ' send string “ there you are ”
pause 1000 ' pause for a second
goto main ' loop

Just curious if that actually worked?
