What type of liquid crystal display controller/Driver are you using? You might have to issue commands to the LCD Controller a little bit slower or at power on, wait up to 15ms after Vcc is 4.5V before talking to the LCD Controller. Also check you signals under a load with an oscilloscope, you may need pull up resistors... -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Haley [mailto:ryanhaley@ASPCORP.COM] Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 7:03 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [PIC]:LCD startup I am building a circuit that uses a PIC 16f84 to control and LCD screen. Everything is well and good except upon startup, the LCD sometimes displays only part of the default screen. If I reset the power several times, eventually I'll get the correct startup screen. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks. Ryan Haley -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
