learning to use LCDs, 2x16 |

Hello. I want to control an LCD. In the first try I wanted to use the lcd.c library, but the compiler didn't found it. So I said"O right, o right, i'll do it manually".
For this pin configuration:
RD0 -> RS
RD1 -> R/W
RD2 -> EN
RD3 -> BL(connected to the base of an 2222A)
RD4-> D4
RD5-> D5
RD6-> D6
RD7-> D7
this is my initialization routine:
#locate LCD_PORT = 8 //PORTD
#define LCD_EN 2
#define LCD_RW 1
#define LCD_RS 0
#define LCD_BL 3
void LCD_tick(){
bit_set(LCD_PORT, LCD_EN);
bit_clear(LCD_PORT, LCD_EN);
}
void LCD_Activate(){
set_tris_d(0x00);//port d output
delay_ms(50);
output_d( 0x00 );
bit_clear( LCD_PORT , LCD_RS);
bit_clear( LCD_PORT , LCD_RW );
LCD_PORT &= 0b00111111;LCD_tick();/*First Init*/
delay_ms(15);
LCD_PORT &= (0b00111111); LCD_tick();/*Second Init*/
delay_ms(5);
LCD_PORT &= 0b00111111; LCD_tick();/*thirdInit*/
delay_ms(5);
LCD_PORT &= 0b00101111; LCD_tick();/*Modo de 4 bits*/
delay_ms(5);
/*In the next sentences, firts is sended the nmost signifant nibble of an instruction and the the less significative, keeping the othere states of the LCD PORT intacts*/
LCD_PORT &= 0b00001111; LCD_tick();
LCD_PORT &= 0b10001111; LCD_tick();/*Display Off*/
LCD_PORT &= 0b00001111; LCD_tick();
LCD_PORT &= 0b00011111; LCD_tick();/*Clear Screen*/
LCD_PORT &= 0b00001111; LCD_tick();
LCD_PORT &= 0b01101111; LCD_tick();/*Entry Mode: INCREMENT, SHIFT OFF*/
LCD_PORT &= 0b00101111; LCD_tick();
LCD_PORT &= 0b10001111; LCD_tick();/*Function Set: 4 bits, 2 lines*/
LCD_PORT &= 0b00001111; LCD_tick();
LCD_PORT &= 0b11001111; LCD_tick();/*Display On*/
bit_set(LCD_PORT, LCD_RS);//Volver a modo de recibir caracteres
}
void LCD_WriteChar( char c){
LCD_PORT &= ( (c) | 0x0F );
LCD_tick();
LCD_PORT &= ( (c)<<4 | 0x0F );
LCD_tick();
}
/**Escribe una cadena de caracteres terminada en NULL*/
void LCD_WriteString( char* string){
while( *string ){
LCD_WriteChar(*string);
string++;
}
}
/**Enciende la luz de la pantalla LCD*/
void LCD_Iluminate(){
bit_set(LCD_PORT, LCD_BL);
}
/**Apaga la luz de la pantalla LCD*/
void LCD_NoIluminate(){
bit_clear(LCD_PORT, LCD_BL);
}
/******MAIN ROUTINE******/
void main()
{
char* testString = "Hello World!";
setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
setup_spi(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_1);
setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
setup_vref(FALSE);
// TODO: USER CODE!!
set_tris_a(0x00);
output_A(0b11110000);
LCD_Activate();
LCD_Iluminate();
LCD_WriteString(testString);
}
While testing, RW(RD1) stas high :S. I never set it high!. And also the display only activates one line(which means it's just self-initialized).
What is more wear, all port a is in clear state. Is the something wrong about how I handle manually inputs and outputs?

Doesn't work |

I think I have problems handling Input Output states :S.
#include "D:\Raul\Proyectos\CONEXIONPIC-LCD\UsingFLEXLCD\ProjectFlex-LCD.h"
#include <flex_lcd.c>
#use fast_io (A)
#use fast_io (D)
void main()
{
setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
setup_spi(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_1);
setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
setup_vref(FALSE);
// TODO: USER CODE!!
set_tris_d(0x00);
set_tris_a(0x00);
lcd_init(); // Always call this first.
lcd_putc("\fHello World\n");
lcd_putc("Line Number 2");
output_high(PIN_A0);
output_low(PIN_A1);
output_high(PIN_A2);
output_low(PIN_A3);
output_high(PIN_A4);
output_low(PIN_A5);
while(1);
}
It's even wear the fact that I have no rsponse in A port :S. I'll test another program for check is not my PIc.
By the way, I'm using a PIC16F877A. CCS demo for Windows. |

The Flex driver instructions say:
Quote: | Limitations:
1. This driver requires CCS "standard i/o" mode (The default mode
of the compiler). |
Delete the fast_io statement for port D. |
