[PIC] LCD Display with PIC16f877a

[yuanna]

Does _LCD_SECOND_ROW makes the string prints on the second line? and _LCD_FIRST_ROW makes it print on the first line? or other commands are needed? thankyou for the helps provided....

Yes. See mikroC PRO PIC Compiler help. Search for LCD in help index. If you want to print string then use LCD_Out(). No need to use _LCD_SECOND_ROW or _LCD_FIRST _ROW.

thankyou for the helps, So it doesnt work on MPLAB with hitech c compiler? I need to define the commands myself right?

Try the attached LCD code. It is for XC8 and C18 Compiler but for Hi-Tech C Compiler you only have to change the __delay_us() and __delay_ms() functions.

hello, if you are using a 16*2 jhd162a lcd then you canuse one more method that send 0x80 as instruction to the lcd that is the start address of the first line and after that you can send 40 bytes to the lcd as data and the second line starting address is 0xc0...
