Hi! I am using an HD44780 compatible display with a 16F877 everything works fine expect when I clear the display or I send the cursor home command to the LCD, then whatever characters I send to the display are NOT displayed! I have tried to set again the Entry Modes, Display ON/OFF but no result. If I move the cursor manually i.e set DDRAM address command instead using the above commands all are ok. The LCD is made by trident and it states that is fully compatible with HD44780 so it doesn't provide a datasheet. I have the Hitachi datasheet and doesn't state anything about the problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Haris Volos -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
