thanks again. in my last post i thought that the internal osc could be changed, but then i realized that it wont go above 4mhz anyways... i changed to a 10.000mhz external and changed the code a bit, and it seems close, but its still not working, and im still not sure what im doing wrong... im getting a lot more digits displayed on the screen, and it displays every 2 seconds like it should from the code.


cmcon = 7
TRISA = %00000000
TRISB = %00001000

lcd VAR PORTA.3
baud CON 24608

Pause 4000

start:
SerOut2 lcd, baud,["hello world"]
Pause 2000
GoTo start
End

thanks for all the help
