Since my original program was configured for a 4-Line LCD (which extensively used the LCDOut command), and you're using a 2-Line LCD which does not, unless you make significant changes to the program to compensate for the difference it's not exactly going to work, is it?

You might need to be aware, that a 2-Line LCD communicates by SERIAL asynchronous. For reliability your PIC will ideally need to be driven by an Xtal or Resonator and not rely on the Internal Oscillator. See Thread...

A 4 or 8-wire connected LCD does not have this limitation.

You obviously haven't a clue as to what you're doing. With your level of expertise, unless you EXACTLY replicate programs and hardware examples that are posted - without changes, your chances of success are slim to none.

Let me put this into perspective... I catch a Cold. I therefore go into a BioMed Lab to devise a cure. I only need to cure my Cold, and then I will never set foot in a BioMed Lab ever again. I give myself a week to accomplish this... I am not a Doctor or a Scientist or even a BioMed Technician. All I know is that the Plasma they drip into your arm is the same stuff that drives the Starship Enterprise...
