Thanks. Id like to mention that the LCD library has come a long way since I developed this project. You may want to use the new library than the one I provide in this project. cheers

LCD now working along with serial out !!!
The LCD contrast for my display ( UNIQe/Vision GC-1602I1 ) requires the contrast pin to be pulled to ground via resistor. I used a 1Kohm variable and found that 780 ohms gave the best visability.
This paves the way for many ideas ...THANK YOU Silverbyte and contributors !
Awesome project ...I have it running now and it looks great on the customized board I made for it.

I hope to have a few hours tonight to try this out. I have an Amicus 18 as well as the Arduino Uno and I enjoy lights and lighting control. The Arduino has a lot more info and projects available, and yours has the right mix for control . I will post back with any progress , and once again great work .
