I have spent months trying to figure out PIC's and programming and simply can't do it. My problem is that I have built 2 PIC projects using 16f54 and 16f628 but none work with modern 1X16 displays. The designers no longer offer support but their projects are still all over the net. All I get are 8 solid blocks on the left side on displays.Believe to have traced the problem to different initialization routines in new displays and I have tried to pick the programs apart, but I simply can not do it. Call me stupid I guess. If anyoune can help me update the program to work with modern 1x16's I can supply the original HEX and ASM codes as well as Data sheet on display with init. routine. ANY HELP would be a great help.
P.S. plugged a 2x16 display with an hd44780 controller into the 16f54 and that works as a one line. Odd, huh?
