hi eT,
You should , when using long delays in SIMULATION add this line, at the top of your Basic code.

Define SIMULATION_WAITMS_VALUE = 1

Otherwise a delay of WaitMs 1000 will be a very long delay, due to the slow speed of simulation.

Also add a simple LCD test line after LCDINT, something like LCDOUT "Ready" will show the LCD is working OK.

I'm very comfortable with Basic, but does it support C language?
