Hello, i want to change the text from congralulations your usb nerdkit is alive, to something else how to I go about it. Thanks

Just change the text in the quotation marks below:

  // print message to screen
  //             20 columns wide:
  //                     01234567890123456789
  lcd_line_one();
  lcd_write_string(PSTR("  Congratulations!  "));
  lcd_line_two();
  lcd_write_string(PSTR("********************"));
  lcd_line_three();
  lcd_write_string(PSTR("  Your USB NerdKit  "));
  lcd_line_four();
  lcd_write_string(PSTR("      is alive!     "));

From what it says to what you want. Then re-compile and send it to your NerdKit. They even gave you a handy scale (on line 3 above) so you can see if what you have will fit in the display.

do i use the same makefile?

Yep, All you should have to do is change the text in the program and run make again as you did initially.

thanks Rick

Do not be surprised if your text gets wrapped to the next line or sometimes does not appear.

The LCD is very sensitive to character spacing and case it is a 20 x 4 display bot I.ve seen it do some strange things

(not that what I did was strange of course).
