hi guys,

i and just trying to get the rs232 data out to the LCD by using the pic16F887. i made a test program for this and i have searched around and came up with this code:

Code: 
include "D:\Projects\asdfasdsa.h"
//#include <LCD.C>


#define LCD_ENABLE_PIN  PIN_B5                                    ////
#define LCD_RS_PIN      PIN_B4                                    ////
#define LCD_RW_PIN      PIN_E2                                    ////
#define LCD_DATA4       PIN_B0                                    ////
#define LCD_DATA5       PIN_B1                                    ////
#define LCD_DATA6       PIN_B2                                    ////
#define LCD_DATA7       PIN_B3 

//#define LCD_TYPE 2
#include <lcd.c>
void main()
{
   lcd_init();
   
   lcd_putc("\a");
   lcd_putc("\F TEST");
   delay_ms(100);
   lcd_putc("\f asd");
   lcd_putc("\f asdsa");

   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS|VSS_VDD);
   setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_2);
   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_ccp1(CCP_OFF);
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);// This device COMP currently not supported by the PICWizard
   lcd_init();

   //TODO: User Code

}
the schematic is like this:
pic16F887-lcd.JPG

please can someone help as on the software sim it is not working.

thanks,

Hi jjeevan007


i have ccs pcm 4.107
 

Are you simulating the above program in proteus? or you have posted it for example.
Hardware:
Schematic you have posted doesn't work.
LCD pins 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 should connect to ground.
uC pin1 MCLR should be high. So connect to +5V.
Also, you must mention frequency for microcontroller. Right-click and check in properties.

software:
No header files included.
No clock frequency mentioned
You are using PORT B. So in your LCD.c, you must configure according to that.

Best wishes :)
 

post the full code include lcd.c file otherwise i code for hitech complier if u want i can share...........
 

Hi Guys thanka lot for the help.

i searched the net without expecting to find such a very fast support here. i got it working now. the code for main file and ldc driver + the schematic that works for me:

it has a lot of crap as i was trying to get it work so dont blame ME :p.

Code: 
#include "D:\documents and settings\Administrator\Application Data\PICC\Projects\asdfasdsa.h"
//#include <nokia.h>
//#include <LCD.C>


#define LCD_ENABLE_PIN  PIN_B5                                    ////
#define LCD_RS_PIN      PIN_B4                                    ////
#define LCD_RW_PIN      PIN_b7                                    ////
#define LCD_DATA4       PIN_B0                                    ////
#define LCD_DATA5       PIN_B1                                    ////

{
   {
   //output_high(LCD_POWER);  // Turn on power to LCD
   //output_low(LCD_RW);      // Set R/W pin on LCD to a low level

lcd_init();              // Initialize the LCD

lcd_putc("\fHello World\n");
lcd_putc("Line Number 2");

while(1);
} 

   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS|VSS_VDD);

clock is internal 4Mhz for the ccs project and on proteus is set to default "just deleted the 1Mhz entry that was there by default"

i changed the schematic to this one changing the pin of #define LCD_RW_PIN PIN_b7 on the main file and into the schematic
VSS is not connected and the VDD is connected to VCC




for the files on proteus i need to upload somewhere

thanks a lot guys i have learned so much here.

Guys, how do i output the long int and int variables to the LCD??? :)
