problems with parallel LCD

[skimask]

Are you seeing any blocks on the screen or anything at all? Remember to try viewing the LCD at various angles...

Yeah, I'm not seeing anything at all. I remember now that it's a transreflective LCD, so maybe something's getting messed up with its light adjustment stuff. Anyways, just a thought...

How about the LED as mentioned/suggested in post #4?

And one more thing...
Are you using PicBasic or PicBasicPro?
I know it looks like PicBasic, but you mentioned looking at the PBP manual...Which is it? What does the front of the manual say?

And if you looked in the manual under LCDOUT for guidance on how to connect the LCD, why aren't you just using the LCDOUT command?
Only two reasons I can think of off the top of my head...

Yeah I tried hooking up an LED and it lit up as it was supposed to. I'm using PicBasic. I used the LCDOUT schematic just because I thought it was the right way to hook up a parallel LCD and so that you guys could have a reference to my wiring.

But there's no LCDOUT in the PBC manual!

Hahaha sorry, I looked online at the PBP manual.
