Re: LCD Doesn't work :(
I imagine you just have your wires crossed somehow.

Describe the connections you made on the FRC TTL port end.
Here's a quick reference chart we use. The FRC TTL port is on the lower left... http://team358.org/files/programming...erialPorts.jpg
Traditionally, we use red for 5v power and white for signal, but as long as you're careful...

Are you doing this on the Full-Sized Robot Controller, Vex, or EDU?

P.S. Rereading this I forgot to make it clear that I agree with Eric about removing the TTL converter chip.
