pic24fj128ga010

Hi
i am doing my engineering training and i have got one major project on interfacing LCD with 16 bit controller pic24fj128ga010..using MPLAB
i have encounter the problem in coding,
please help me out......i tried for this code, but its not working

#include<p24fj128ga010.h>
sfr ldata=0x00D0
sfr ldata=0x00C0;
#define rs portDbit.0
#define rw portDbit.1
#define en portDbit.2


unsigned char ar[]={"hello"};
unsigned long int i,j,a;

void delay(void);

void delay (void)
{
for(i=0;i<=50;i++)
for(j=1;j>0;j--);
}
void cmd( void )
{
rs=0;
rw=0;
en=1;
delay();
en=0;
delay();
}
void data( void )
{
rs=1;
rw=0;
en=1;
delay();
en=0;
delay();
}
int main()
{
PORTE=0x38;
cmd();
delay();
PORTE=0x0E;
cmd();
delay();
PORTE=0x0001;
cmd();
delay();
PORTE=0x0006;
cmd();
delay();
PORTE=0x0080;
cmd();
delay();
for(a=0;a<6;a++)
{
PORTE=ar[a];
data();
delay();
}
while(1);
return(0);
}

The LCD controller data sheets have a specification for initialization, obviously your keeping neither the timing specification (required delays) nor the recommended method to set the interface reliably to 8-bit mode (sending 0x38 three times).

There may be other errors, too, but I suggest to correct these points first.

When using a full us interface, it's more effective to check the busy flag rather than using long delays required for some instructions, I think.

c coding for lcd interfacing with pic24fj128ga010

1.By default the port pins are input, have u configured them as output? If not configure using TRISD register.
2.Try to use some delay before intializing the controller.
3.Try to check out your intialization seq, for this check the LCD manual
