[SOLVED] DSPIC30f2010 4 wire LCD interfacing mplab

[Rizwan96101]

I have to interface 16 by 2 lcd with DSPIC30f2010 microcontroller via CD4015 shift register using only 4 wires (RS,EN,Data, CLK). I have done it in proteus using arduino but the same logic is not working on DSPIC30f2010.

This is a very badly worded question. Also I don't see how the photo relates to the schematic.
You say the code works with the Arduino - you will need to show us that code so we know what you are aiming at.
You say that it doesn't work with a dsPIC30F2010 but you don't say in what way it is not working. What is it supposed to do? Show us the code you are using (there a numerous things that can stop these very old processors from working if you don't set them up correctly.

I am very sorry that I have posted for the first time here and after sending my message i lost this thread.I was finding it to add details. I just caught it through my email. The Arduino code on the LCD attached with the lcd of the inverter board (purchased from Market) is working fine on the LCD as well as the in the proteus simulation (right picture). The code written for the arduino is given below,

I assume you are using XC16.
Have you defined the _XTAL_FREQ pre-processor symbol that is used in the 'delay_xx" macros? If not then you are almost certainly not getting the delays you intend.
Where do you initialise the LCD (in the dsPIC30F code)?
Also you normally need to set up the oscillator etc but I assume that you have done that with the CONFIG settings that you don't show. (You have this in your Arduino code but you must also initialise the LCD in the dsPIC30F code)

Hi,

Clk_Pin = 1;
__delay32(5500);
Clk_Pin = 0; Maask = Maask >> 1;

this defines the delay after the rising edge. But I miss the delay at the falling edge.

If not defined properly it may cause different results on different (speed) microcontrollers.

Thanks dear. The problem resolved. The problem was that the LCD two pins being used were of PWM channel 3 and the value set in the wpm control register was wrong due to which these pins were not behaving as normal IO pins. Now i will test the complete code with display on the inverter board. Will ask question here if face some difficulty.
