Dear All
This is related to PIC 16F877a MCU and HD44870 LCD ( 4bit Mode)

My LCD and MCU connections are as follows.

RD4 to LCD data pin 4
RD5 to LCD data pin 5
RD6 to LCD data pin 6
RD7 to LCD data pin 7

LCD 0,1,2,3 pins are connected to GND

Code:
void lcddata(unsigned char value)
	{
LCD_RS = 1; 
LCD_DATA= (value&0xf0);
LCD_STROBE;
LCD_DATA = ((value<<4)&0xf0);
LCD_STROBE;
__delay_ms(10);
	}


Above codes data write for 4bit mode and it is working

However my new hardware design was changed as follows

RD0 to LCD data pin 4
RD1 to LCD data pin 5
RD2 to LCD data pin 6
RD3 to LCD data pin 7

Could you please advice me how may I change my above lcddata program accordant to new hardware design
Thanks in advance
 

LCD_DATA MSB LSB interchanged

- - - Updated - - -




Code:
void lcddata(unsigned char value)
	{
LCD_RS = 1; 

LCD_DATA= ((val>>4)&0x0F);
LCD_STROBE;
LCD_DATA =(val&0x0F); 
LCD_STROBE;

__delay_ms(10);
	}

Dear Jestin thanks for the reply

I changed as follows but still problem remaining unchanged
Please advice

Code:
void lcddata(unsigned char value)
	{
LCD_RS = 1; 
LCD_DATA= ((value>>4)&0x0f);
LCD_STROBE;
LCD_DATA = (value&0x0f);
LCD_STROBE;
__delay_ms(10);
	}

void lcdcmd(unsigned char value)
	{
LCD_RS = 0;
LCD_DATA= ((value>>4)&0x0f);
LCD_STROBE;
LCD_DATA = (value&0x0f);
LCD_STROBE;
__delay_ms(10);
	}

Dear can you please check this program is correct

Code:
LCD_EN =0;
 __delay_us(10);  
	LCD_DATA =0X30;
     	LCD_STROBE;
       	__delay_ms(2);

       LCD_RS=0;
       __delay_us(10);  
	LCD_DATA =0X30;
     	LCD_STROBE;
	__delay_ms(2);

        LCD_RS=0;
       __delay_us(10);  
	LCD_DATA =0X30;
       	LCD_STROBE;
	__delay_ms(2);

       LCD_RS=0;
       __delay_us(10);  
	LCD_DATA =0X20;
     	LCD_STROBE;
	__delay_ms(2);

lcdcmd(0x28);
__delay_ms(15);
lcdcmd(0x01);
__delay_ms(10);
lcdcmd(0x06);
__delay_ms(10);
lcdcmd(0x80);
__delay_ms(10);
lcdcmd(0x0c);
__delay_ms(10);

Please advice

try this lcd init

Code:
LCD_EN =0;
 __delay_us(10);  
	LCD_DATA =0X3;
     	LCD_STROBE;
       	__delay_ms(2);

       LCD_RS=0;
       __delay_us(10);  
	LCD_DATA =0X3;
     	LCD_STROBE;
	__delay_ms(2);

        LCD_RS=0;
       __delay_us(10);  
	LCD_DATA =0X3;
       	LCD_STROBE;
	__delay_ms(2);

       LCD_RS=0;
       __delay_us(10);  
	LCD_DATA =0X2;
     	LCD_STROBE;
	__delay_ms(2);

Dear jestin thanks for the reply

Please accept my apologize for my fault

Actually Connection could be as follows

RD0 to LCD pin 7
RD1 to LCD pin 6
RD2 to LCD pin 5
RD3 to LCD pin 4

Can you Please modify the flowing codes for above connection

Code:
void lcddata(unsigned char value)
	{
LCD_RS = 1; 
LCD_DATA= ((value>>4)&0x0f);
LCD_STROBE;
LCD_DATA = (value&0x0f);
LCD_STROBE;
__delay_ms(10);
	}

void lcdcmd(unsigned char value)
	{
LCD_RS = 0;
LCD_DATA= ((value>>4)&0x0f);
LCD_STROBE;
LCD_DATA = (value&0x0f);
LCD_STROBE;
__delay_ms(10);
	}
Please advice
Thanks in advance

the above program is not working in proteus why?
 

sorry for the late reply sir i got the output with the help of saeed solutions could u guide me how to get more exposure in embedded programming and guide me to use this lcd program more efficient and easier thanks in advance.
