Did you put a max232 or similar device between your LCD and PIC?

tried it with and without max works better without

does not seem to mater still get garbarge (some) also displays corectly

and unable to fiqure how to setup chip escape sequence

[Ioannis]

It can't work with both cases (with and without max232) using HSER commands! Are you sure of what you are doing????

I never used any Serial LCD's so I don't know of the ESC sequences. But with Serout commands you can drive a PC without MAX232. I am not sure if you can drive a slave device too... I'd use a MAX232 for sure.

If this: http://www.redbinary.com/sld01a.php is the LCD driver you're using, then it looks like you'll want to use 9600 non-inverted. It should also work directly connected to your PIC hardware USART pin.

I a getting the display to work with the attached file so i assume
hook up and baud is right
using serout2 commandportb.7 on a 628a not using the max works better
however i also get garbage and cannot get the esc sequence to change the display properties

file does not compile with the latest effort to send esc
tried others no help

where you have "<esc>" in your code, that generally means the ASCII character "Escape" similar to how you see "<cr>" for carriage return.

Try replacing that with 27 or $1B and see how you get on. (No difference between them except that 27 is decimal and $1B is hex.)

@9600 baud AND using the internal OSC AND using SEROUT2, it's high unlikely that it will work. Using DEBUG or HSEROUT may work.

with HSEROUT, use the following DEFINEs

DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 25  ' 9600 Baud @ 4MHz, 0.16%
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically

For ANY reliable serial comm, you really want to use a crystal or a ceramic resonator.
