| Problem in Using LCD 16X2 (Model: Topway LMB162ABC) |

Hi all, I am very new to electronics. I would like to seek help regarding the initialization of LCD with PIC16F877A. I had configured my hardware PIC16F877A to connect with this 16X2 LCD (Topway LMB162ABC). I am using Port B to interface with the LCD.
RB0 = E
RB1 = RS
RB2 = R/W
and I'm using 4-Bit Mode
so
RB7 = Data Line 7
RB6 = Data Line 6
RB5 = Data Line 5
RB4 = Data Line 4
Contrast of LCD had been set too
I am using PCW C Compiler to compile my Hex file. Below is my simple program that used to test the LCD but unfortunately, it doesn't show up anything... any idea?
| Code: | #include <16f877a.h>
#use delay(clock = 20000000)
#fuses hs, noprotect, nowdt, nolvp
#define use_portb_lcd TRUE
#include <lcd.c>
#byte PORTB=6
void main()
{ set_tris_b(0);
lcd_init();
do{
lcd_putc("\fTESTING\n");
}while(1);
}
|
The output of the LCD as shown like this....

Use the Flex driver. It's easier:

Carefully check all your connections. Make sure you are using
the correct pin numbers on the LCD and the PIC.
If you have never done anything with a PIC before, don't start with
an lcd. Start with an LED blinking program:
| Code: | #include <16F877A.H>
#fuses HS, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
//===============================
void main()
{
while(1)
{
output_high(PIN_B0); // Blink LED on Pin B0
delay_ms(500);
output_low(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(500);
}
} |
