WOW !

Short story.... when I first started in the industry, I started with MVS (mainframes) writing JES2 (Job Entry Subsystem - a base function of the OS) exits in assembly....

One day I sat there with a problem... and after a DAY+ of laboring over it, yelling at it for not doing what I meant it ...

Well, the logic analyzer does show signals being sent across... I am assuming other people have interfaced with PIC MCUs prior - without any problems ?

So it narrows it down to something with the PIC24FJ ? maybe it is something with the remappable pins ?

It would be nice to hear of someone that ...

Hi Raquel... Thanks for the post and interest....

I am running in TTL mode.... if that stirs any thoughts on the problem

I am looking into the 'something that is just overlooked' - i hooked the PIC up to a logic analyzer and am playing with it now....

I will post if I get this figured out

I can not get the LK162 and PIC to talk..... any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what I have tried so far.....

I know I am programming UART comm correctly on the PIC... I altered the PIC program to transmit to hyperterminal and data was received.

I know the LCD is working - I have no ...

Hi Raquel,

Thanks for answering.... I finally gave up yesterday afternoon and switched to TTL serial... got it working quicker than the time it took to solder....

re: soldering... :D Yes, that was pretty stupid of me... I knew they were 0's... yet it did not hit me until I had to change over to ...

Having some major problems trying to get communication between the 2 - if anyone has any advice I would sure appreciate it.

It does not appear that any communication is going across... I am using the Wire.h library for I2C.

The LCD works... because before attempting to hook it to the atmega168, I ...
