Yes, Darrel, I have the LCD hooked up to PortA in my development setup on the EasyPic6 via a Port expander with a ProtoBoard.
I also have the prototype PCB board laid out so that the LCD is connected to PortA in the same way as I have it working on the EasyPic. So my LCD DEFINES are correct (at least for the WINSTAR) and work on the EasyPic configuration with the WINSTAR LCD, but they don't on the prototype PCB with the NEWHAVEN display. Hope this makes it more clear.
NEWHAVEN tech support told me that as long as I saw the character dot matrix blocks on Line 1 of the display whenever it is powered up but with contrast to a minimum, it means the module is alive. That is my situation, but still can't get characters to display. I have sent this posting to NEWHAVEN to see if they can tell me why my PBP initialization isn't working, but doubt they will since their examples for their module are all in C.
