    Default try this

    define lcd_bits 4
    define lcd_lines 4
    PAUSE 500
    start:
    lcdout $FE,$80,"LINE 1 "
    lcdout $FE,$C0,"LINE 2 "
    lcdout $FE,$94,"LINE 3 "
    lcdout $FE,$D4,"LINE 4 "
    pause 1000
    goto start:

    The only thing I dont see is a varable resistor for contrast adjustment on V0.
    You have it tied to +5v, the voltage may be to high that is why you are only seeing squares insted of text.

    Hope it helps Sphere...

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    I needed the pot between Vee and Gnd. It measures at 455R. I was using a 10K pot according to the schematic set at 5K, but never turned it down to such a low value before thinking I must have something wrong. Another thread had a working Optrex with Vee at 5+. Duh . . .
