Hi stargazer

I think you have the defines for the LCD wrong. Have a look at the schematic in the user manual for the LCD. You will see that portb.0 to portb.3 is connected to the HIGH four data bits of the LCD.

Change
DEFINE LCD_DBIT 0
to
DEFINE LCD_DBIT 4

Check that the LCD has power (I think you have to set a switch or jumper). Your LCD should burst into life.
