Wired up lcd as in picbasic manual, used this program:
Code:
@ device INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT
cmcon = 7
DEFINE OSC 4
Lcdout $FE, 1
PAUSE 500
LCDOUT $FE, 1, "Hello"
It doesn't display anything on the lcd, i've checked th pic is working by having it blink the backlight on and off.
Anything I've missed?
The only thing I can think of is that the LCD might not be Hitachi 44780 compatable, it came out a parts box, but had the right number of wires, and the backlight connections are the same as a Hitachi 44780 (I know because it lights up), are there loads of other 'standards' for LCDs, or not really?
