its really bizarre, but the LCD is working now. LCDC is kind of a pain to configure, and takes forever, AND half the things don't work correctly. On top of its crashing several times during configuration I can't see myself paying for it but this rant needs to be posted elsewhere....

So I finally got a Serial to USB adapter for my BLK202A and all text sent to the screen is jarbled and weird. I followed the step by step instructions for the LCD using LCDC to no avail.
