You will need to supply the people on the
Proton Forum with a link to the LCD.
Is your copy of Proton dodgy? Is that why you don't use the Proton Forum?
They can give advice on whether you have a hardware problem, a connection problem or initialisation problem.
Some serial LCD firmwares can splash up a screen to confirm the LCD is good.
I usually see a common error with Newbies+Compilers is that they have forgotten to set the correct pins to digital (ADCONx/ANSEL etc) and they have their I/O directions wrong.(TRIS).
Code for PICAXE versus Proton may look similar but it is NOT the same by a long way.
But, as this is a
PICAXE Forum I'm not going to spend time on it. Sorry Victor, but if we spend hours on obvious non-PICAXE problems then we will end up with a free-for-all.
You must go to the
Proton Forum and discuss it over there.
Tell them your
PIC ,
clock speed, and a
code snippet and a
link to the LCD
Data Sheet. - and your power supply type.
Once again.
