Good Day,

I would like to ask for help in troubleshooting my exercise experiment. I was trying to show a message in my 8x2 LCD display LM016L. The message in 1st line should be " R2K Technology " and in 2nd line is " MCU - Trainers ". The 2nd line won't show but the first line showed however with incorrect/random characters. The proteus also shows hundreds of errors saying "Attempted to write after reading a single nibble". I searched the web advising to add delays, i did but still the same. I noticed on the part of code calling "QUICK:", when i change R5, #100 to #1, the LCD shows R2K Tecf pE=Ew something like that, better than the previous one but still no 2nd line message. What part of code do you think would be the problem guys? In what line of code is the fault and the supposed correct right line of code? Thanks in advance.

Clock Frequency,
Crystal Oscillator: 11MHz
PIC: 11MHz
LCD LM016L: 250kHz

Here's the schematic:

Here's the code:

uhmm anyone? guys badly needed ur help

This is working, you will have to change your pinout to match this code, OR
change the code.

ALSO: in your schematic, you do not have a resistor connected to pin 3 on the LCD. You should install a 10K pot
so you can adjust the contrast. Without this you may never see the test and you may think the code does not work!

I guess your code itself working...May be only the contrast problem. Always the LCD interface should be as in the imagelkcd.jpg
