    Hello agross,
    Install some code to flash an LED just so you know the PIC is working, set your contrast so the squares are barely visable, usually I simply ground that pin, and mine work. Check your breadboards connections, especially the Osc connections.
    try:
    Code:
    FLAGS = 0              ' Forces LCD to initialize
    pause 500              ' Allows the time
    lcdout $FE,1           ' Clears LCD
    lcdout $FE,2, "hello"  ' Returns to beginning of line 1 and writes "string"
    Check this link too . . .http://www.geocities.com/dinceraydin/lcd/commands.htm notice . . link has popup ads, not my link though . . .

    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
    .
    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves
