Yep, LCD into the TFT shield and that into the Mega. As far as I know the code was not changed at all . When I bring up the Jarduino sketch, I can see it on my laptop, hit eeprom clear, hit upload,... it takes a few seconds to load because of the sketch size,... the Mega's little leds flash at the end of uploading just as it should. Nooooo picture on the screen???

Yup, last time I zapped my rtc because i soldered bad and the sda wire came off and touched 12vdc...the screen was blank white like your saying. Replaced it (the rtc module) and it was fixed.
The screen needs an accurate time reference (by this i mean period...in terms of frequency) in order to propagate the code is my best understanding of it.

Hey Aqualund,....Thanks for that input, this is what's so great about these forums. I'll look into that further,...as I said I'm kind of at a loss as to what I did to make the screen not show the program. Your solution sounds like a probable answer.(although a new 2nd screen should show in the mail tomorrow) :headwally: Thanks,---Rick
Just rechecked the items you had for sale the other day,... and as luck has it, I seen you sold the couple you had,...I knew I should have bought them also.lol I have a new screen coming, but not the shield. By the time I'm through,... I should have bought the whole kit and kabutol,...mega, shield,and screen as a package deal.:headwalls:
Hi rott,...I'm down in my Labor-atory right now. New screen new problem. The screen that came/I ordered is only 32 pin 
, so it won't plug into my shield. I have one of those 40 wire patch sets so I guess I can plug it all together manually to see if the screen is my problem before I buy another shield.(they sell shields that will accommodate both a 40 and 32 pin screens) Anyhow I'll post if/when I get the thing working.

Now it looks like I'll need to get this shield http://www.ebay.com/itm/121057447668?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT another 10 bucks, but this needs to ship from HK. And all this to do some tests to find out why the program is not showing on the screen.
Like I told rott, I have some patch wires that I thought I would hook the new screen to my mega for testing, but I don't understand what plugs into what? :headwally:http://coldtears.lin3.siteonlinetest.com/files/Shield_pinout.jpg
I'm getting ready to order another batch of 10V to 5V Pwm convertors this week, so I thought I'd show some of the improvements that I made to the design. I made two different versions this time around. One will be PlugNPlay to the Profilux control cable scheme, and the other to the NEPTUNE APEX. The Original design had to grow a bit to fit the RJ12/RJ45 connections, so I put both designs on the same PcB to save on manufacturing costs. Both designs fit into an area less than 10cm X 10cm. I'll just cut them in two, after they're delivered.
Let me know what you guys think.

That's fantastic! I don't own either controller, but I still like what you are doing.
Thanks rott!,....sometimes two heads are better than one :beer: I'll get in touch in the next couple days to see what works for your schedule.---Rick
