LCD troubles....are over!! (BASIC STAMP 1)

Archiver

My LCD is now working properly! I'd like to say thanks to
all of those that responded with the helpful comments. It
has been a crash course in using them but now I am able to
drive all of the ones I had here. I'm really glad it worked
out since this 16x1 display is large format and looks great.

Thanks,

Robert
