Yes I tested the LCD and I am able to print stuff on it - when I am not asking Arduino to also listen to the serial port...Basically, sending and receiving Xs and Os serially is fine on its own, printing to LCD is fine on its own, but try putting the two together then nothing happens... =(
It might have something to do with the management of multiple instances of serial communication in NewSoftSerial? I found this link but I don't think I fully understand the solution....NewSoftSerial | Arduiniana
