LCD will not start

[JohnPaul]

Dear Ski,

Hahaha... Blinking the LED is the first project in the book and I thought it's so simple so I read all the projects but did not tried any of the LEDs .... skipped all the project all the way to the LCDs. Now, I am back... to LED1.BAS

I will get a new chip and tried the LED Blinking tomorrow and start anew.
It's late now.

Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate your help.

Regards,
JohnPaul

Excellent plan! There's a reason why all these books and websites have Blink.Bas as their first project.
Once you get that working, you change the blink rate by changing the program, you add a couple of buttons which when pressed will change the blink rate depending on the button press......and it just goes up from there....then you get to spend money buying up neat stuff to play with....which is when the wife starts to disown you and you start to go broke and ...........
Never mind...
Enjoy
