serial LCD 1602 Backpack using PIC16F690 for Hitach HD44780

[jackberg1]

when testing baud rate, usualy I start at 300 and up

when it stopped working then I set pace = 1

and re-start from the last baud rate tested.

16F690 Xtal 20Mhz

set pace to 1
sEROUT2 lcd,baudR,pace,[254,128,"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP"]


from my code here's the tested baud rate .
and when booting the PIC's at different baud rate the sender 12F683 and receiver 16F690 the LCD screen light up right away and start displaying text, and back light on/off
there's no lag for the first receiving if I remember correctly the pace for the sender is set = 0.





Also I add baud rate selection jumpers on the Backpack''
