Looks great, Spency's (Gramo) video tutorials are handy.
I'm trying to get a local retailer to carry the 16x2 LCDs in Red.

I have seen those red lcds on ebay, they are really nice, i also liked the oled ones they have on there.
I ordered one of the blue backlight with with letters and i love them, im looking to get a few of the 2x16 lines in blue and red for futur projects.
 
Joe,
If you get a free copy of Proton Basic Lite, a PICKIT2, with the Low count Demo-Board, and a breadboard, you can have an LCD up and running in less than an hour . I havent tried Swordfish, but a lot of people like it
Its so easy

I think you'll have fun attempting. You will learn a lot about why and how a MCU works.

It's well enough, I guess, to use big chips to drive LED arrays and LCDs, but there's a feeling of accomplishment when you can provide the chip with intelligence to perform actual useful work. Like you, I am just a neophyte in the PIC game, so I approach the learning curve in a how-and-why manner. If you are interested, you might take a look at my "Progress Report" on this forum.

"Like you, I am just a neophyte" I can't remember joining that particular group but I'd be interested in a progress report.

Does one exist or do you intend to compose one. Please tell us a little more about it.

JMcG.
 

Hello, Joe. Whadda ya know?

To answer your question, the word neophyte comes from the Greek, meaning, "neo"=new, "phyte", born, or comer; thus a neophyte is a beginner at something. We all are (were) one. There is no club, although the membership potential is vast. Trouble is, most folks don't stay eligible very long.
