hi ! I am quite new to assembly coding (using Pic16F877)
here is my program for display 'A' character on LCD screen and it wrong (simulate using Proteus)
Code:
	list		p=16f877a	; list directive to define processor
	#include	<p16f877a.inc>	; processor specific variable definitions
	__CONFIG _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _RC_OSC & _WRT_OFF & _LVP_ON & _CPD_OFF
;*******************************************************************
	org		0x0000
	goto 	Main
	org		0x0005	
Main
	banksel	TRISB
	movlw	00h
	movwf	TRISB		;Set all PORTB pins to output
	banksel	TRISA	
	bsf		ADCON1,1	;Port A is digital I/O 
	bsf		ADCON1,2	;...
	movlw	01h
	movwf	TRISA		;pin 0 is input, the rest is output
	banksel	PORTA
Main1
	clrf	PORTB		
	bsf		PORTA,2		;RS pin on
	bsf		PORTA,4		;E pin on
	bcf		PORTA,3		;R/W pin off
;	banksel	PORTB
	movlw	41h
	movwf	PORTB		;"A" character
	bcf		PORTA,4		;E pin off
	bcf		PORTA,2		;RS pin off
	bsf		PORTA,3		;R/W pin on
	goto	Main1
	END
Here is the diagram
and the write process diagram of LCD (LM018L) is here

Could you tell me what wrong with my code, thanks so much !
 

16x2lcd+test+program

RA4 port is on most PICs (if not all) of open collector type. This means you need a pullup resistor (ex. 10K) to +5V.
Also I don't like the way you connect your push button to a port. Here also you should use a pullup or pulldown resistor and act accordingly in software.

lcd character display 16x2

Thanks, but I just do simply with my test program, seem that you very familiar with Proteus, do you know the meaning of yellow signal at pins when simulating ?
Thanks !!!
 

proteus 16x2 lcd test

Never had a 'yellow signal' with Proteus but I suppose this is an undefined level: not '0' (GND) and not '1' (+5V).

Put the pullup/pulldown resistors as I advised.

Re: 'A' on 16x2 LCD

I had followed your advice !!!
Thanks !!! :)
