floresta:
Your program is too ambitious for a first attempt. Try something simple first.

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

//LiquidCrystal lcd(RS, E, D4, D5, D6, D7);
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);      // put your pin numbers here

void setup()
  {
  lcd.begin(16, 2);                          // put your LCD parameters here
  lcd.print("hello, world!");
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.print("it works!");
  }

void loop()
  {
                                            // do nothing in 'loop'
  }





Your pictures are a bit hard to see.

I don't have the book, and most of the readers here probably don't have it either.

Thanks for the help Don. Sorry for the late response. Apparently the problem was that the "RW" LCD pin needed to be connected to GND. This was not indicated anywhere in the book.
