need serial 20x4 lcd code example

[saulius659]

• Hello, works with this. Instead of communication speed "4" i used "2" - and ok, works.
  Interesting, but it works only in simulation software i use.
  I programed pic16f628a and pic16f877a with the same sample - still nothing.
  Maybe i use wrong settings for programing pic (watchdog and others) or picaxe oled display inside has something protected....
  A few days ago i ordered serial display from ebay, just to be sure, what is wrong.
  
  main:
  pause 1000 ' wait for the LCD to startup
  serout PortA.0,2,[$FE,$01] ' clear the screen
  serout PortA.0,2,["Hello world !"] ' send string
  serout PortA.0,2,[$FE,$C0] ' move the cursor to the 2nd line
  serout PortA.0,2,[" Here we are "] ' send string
  pause 1000 ' pause for a second
  goto main ' loop

Well, what is nothing. Nothing is not hieroglyphs.

You do realize the 16f628 and the 16f877a have different footprints? Port a.0 on the 16f877a is pin 2 and on the 16f628 it's pin 17. They both are both analog so must be set to digital. I don't think serout setting it to output sets pin as digital.

It would be best if you posted entire code and not snippet.
