Okay guys, there's one last thing that stands between me and my finished pr=
oject. The LCD readout. 1/3 of the time it works PERFECTLY.. i print out my=
 welcoming screen, print messages, clear the display, place cursors, etc. B=
ut 2/3 of the time when i start up my PIC (and the LCD, tied to the same po=
wer source), I get my top line as all black blocks (it's a 20x2) and the bo=
ttom line black. Not welcome message, nothing. It is rather confusing.. I t=
hought that perhaps it was a timing issue, maybe me not letting instruction=
s settle enough during the init stage, but i doubled the time delays and go=
t nothing. I'm using the EXACT routines in the CHEAPIC examples for 4Mhz op=
eration ( http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist/cheapic/wktim4m.asm ). Has=
 anyone experienced anything like this before? I mean, because everything e=
lse works perfect 1/3 of the time, I can't stop thinking it has to be somet=
hing right on the edge..like the timing. I dunno. Thanks everyone :-)
