no text on LCD

cheers malcom, thats now worked, downloaded the hex on to my PIC.
But still having problems, only showing line 1 and 3 full of solid blocks.

My .ASM will work... but Melanie's Example is setuped for a 2 LINES LCD

so just change the following

	Define LCD_LINES 2			' Using 2 line Display

to

	Define LCD_LINES 4			' Using 4 line Display

OR use the corrected .HEX in attachment

cheers mister e, just found out it was a problem with my code as i am fairly new to it, but i went over my circuit with a fine tooth comb, litteraly,
using a magnifying glass i was able to just make out a solder bridge between pin 6 and the data lines next to it which are grounded, therefore was not getting a signal. this will have only happend after i grounded them as mel said in an earlier post, as they had not been toutched previousley.

cheers every one for your help and for putting up with me.
dont worry i aint running away, ill be back soon to annoy every one again, haha

does any one know any sites with information on so i can learn how to program more in that language?

thanx

Glad to hear you resolved the issue.

When you say that language do you mean PicBASIC pro like

High BlinkyLED				' Set LED pin High
	Pause 1000				' Wait one Second

	LCDOUT "Hello Dj tempo"			' Write message
	Low BlinkyLED				' Set LED pin Low
	Pause 1000				' Wait one Second

or do you mean Assembly code like

RRF	Send_bit, F
	BTFSC	STATUS, C		; Test Carry if 1 then set output
	BSF	OUTPUT
	BTFSS	STATUS, C		; Test Carry if 0 then clear output
	BCF	OUTPUT
	BSF	Send_Count, 6
	GOTO	Del_232

If its PicBASIC have a look at http://www.crownhill.co.uk/product.php?prod=17
http://www.mecanique.co.uk/products/compiler/pbp.html
or for examples and more reference

Hope that helps

cheers m8,
i like the look of Pic bsic more as i find it easier to understand, so will be continuing in this language.
