    Hmmmm..... let's see ....
    PUB putc(txByte) 

'' Transmit a byte


    and you are sending a string in place of a byte... damnit

    Also, it might not need it but a CLS never hurts during initialization.

    Harry1,

    GIMME is rude. Some forums will kick a member off that tries the 'gimme' attitude.

    AND, you wouldn't even state what sort of LCD you were using. We cannot see what you have.

    AND, you didn't do much of a search. There is a serial LCD demo with the IDE.

    Hopefully you can ASK next time. AND when you need help, provide some info with the 'request'.

    Please don't 'gimme'.

    James: Ditto!

    Harry1: Most people are only too happy to help, but please remember that we can only read the words you type, so we need as much info' as possible wink.gif

    p.s. I guess we also forget that English may not be a poster's first language, so we need to be a bit understanding too...
