Hi everyone,
I have been using my educational version of the compiler to program 18F452s. I now need to buy some more chips, but MicroChip has phased into 18F4520 - will I be able to program this ... |

Yes, I did succeed. So, I know the problem is in how I am addressing. I was hoping I could just set Enable to HIGH or LOW and have that do it, but apparently not.
Thanks.

Thanks! Just tried rewiring that (w/o the resistors), and the LCD works the same way. It works fine, communicated directly with the PIC, but the 2nd panel (for which I'm trying to toggle the Enable) ... |

Thanks, I guess I'll try again
I am only grounding the pins I don't need (communicating with 4-bit data, doesn't use all the data pins.)

Hi everyone,
Am I right in assuming that I can control several LCD panels from one pic, where they share all pins except the Enable pin?
I am trying that, and then manually setting HIGH & LO ... |

Hi everyone,
Thanks again for all the help - it is finally working! I reworked all of the electronics onto a new breadboard, and that did it.
No idea, really, what was going on, but now, I'm al ... |

Well, I just soldered a different LCD Panel (same model, VK2220), to ensure no stray wires, etc, and I'm getting the same results. 1st line of black squares.
Any other thoughts?

Thanks, but that didn't work either. I tried inserting it, received a duplication error, and then realized it is already in the LCD.C code as #if defined(__PCH__)
Any other thoughts?

I have a potentiometer controlling the contrast, so I can easily adjust it. I tried that, and no luck. Any other ideas?
Thank you,
