lcdout versus serout2

Glad to hear the display works... just need to fix the content now

All numbers are stored internally as HEX. Try using DEC instead.

BIN, DEC and HEX modifiers are used to output an ASCII representation of the number.

eg, myVar = 65

LCDout myVar displays "A"

LCDout DEC myVar displays "65"

LCDout HEX myVar displays "41"

LCDout BIN myVar displays "1000001" (leading zeros not displayed unless you specify how many bits to show)

I apologize for the ambiguity of my last message. What I intended was that all of my problems, jumbles on the display and also incorrect counting were all rectified. This appears to be a good example of needing to pull back from a project sometimes to get a fresh start. Indeed, I don't think I would have seen the problem with the display not displaying correct. It never occured to me that I had selected the wrong logic levels on the display. I was thoroughly convinced that the command using the 84 instead of 16468 was correct. But as for it counting wrong I overlooked that the numbers were in BCD. The initial problem had me so consumed I overlooked that one little fact. Thank you for taking your time to answer what to many is such a simple problem it's not worth their time. It was extremely frustrating.
Again thanks.
