Could the fuse settings be an issue?
it often is that or failure to set pins to digital, its not the code thats a problem. i assume the contrast is not an issue and that the lcd works and the ep6 board is undamaged and has no conflicting jumper/switch settings


What software do you use to program your Easypic7?
I could not get microcode studio to work with it - it does not seem to be able to find the board.

command line use for the mikro onboard icd doesn't seem to be a possibility, its not going to run from the msc button.
i just load the hex file manually , if you compile my code the config fuse settings are embedded in the hex file
there is no need to set them

you could upgrade to 3.0.10 for free
