jessey, Try adjusting the voltage on the Contrast pin of the LCD. It should be close to 0 volts..

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the define codes, my Lcd works like a charm now. I'll remember that the next time I change a Lcd Define to another port.

Thanks again

Hi Steve,

I spent some time in Montreal too, in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Beautiful city that still holds fond memories for me.

It's a small world.
