Hi nomad,

i think i know what's going on !

the thing is that i moved the stardard configuration to give me the RA0 and RA1 free and use them for analog input.

I have my code set for all PORTa to be input and analog...dahhh ( therefore the lcd RS to pic RA4 is not working )

TRISA = %11111111 ' Set PORTA to all input
ADCON1 = %10000010 ' Set PORTA analog and right justify result

This is why it doesnt work.

I need to set ONLY PORTA 0 and 1 ports analog and not all.

I will remove the first line ( trisa = %1111111 ) because it doesnt make any sense.

About the second line : ADCON = %10000010...

how can i set only RA0 and RA1 analog and the rest of the portA digital ?

thanks
