Good Day
I have to troubleshoot this PIC programming in line with my thesis panel's recommendations
i purposely used the PIC16F877A just to convert the Analog Output of the gas sensors into Digital...
i supposedly will use the ADC value and plug it into my equations in the GUI.
the original code drive an output to my zigbee tranciever and LCD output however, when i revised my code, i don't seem to have an output anymore

Original Code
Code:
// LCD module connections
sbit LCD_RS at RB4_bit;
sbit LCD_EN at RB5_bit;
sbit LCD_D4 at RB0_bit;
sbit LCD_D5 at RB1_bit;
sbit LCD_D6 at RB2_bit;
sbit LCD_D7 at RB3_bit;

sbit LCD_RS_Direction at TRISB4_bit;
sbit LCD_EN_Direction at TRISB5_bit;
sbit LCD_D4_Direction at TRISB0_bit;
sbit LCD_D5_Direction at TRISB1_bit;
sbit LCD_D6_Direction at TRISB2_bit;
sbit LCD_D7_Direction at TRISB3_bit;
// End LCD module connections

int ctr = 0;
char valueStr[7];
float mq135Reading;
float mq131Reading;
float mg811Reading;
float tgs203Reading;

void main(){
  UART1_Init(9600);                  // initialize UART1 module
  Delay_ms(100);
  
  Lcd_Init();                        // Initialize LCD
  Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CLEAR);               // Clear display
  Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CURSOR_OFF);          // Cursor off
  Lcd_Out(1,1,"NO2         :");      // MQ-135
  Lcd_Out(2,1,"O3          :");      // MQ-131
  Lcd_Out(3,1,"CO2         :");      // MG-811
  Lcd_Out(4,1,"CO          :");      // MQ7
  Delay_ms(5000);
  
  while(1){
     mq135Reading  = ((ADC_Read(1)/1024.0) * 100.0);
     mq131Reading  = ((ADC_Read(2)/1024.0) * 100.0);
     mg811Reading  = ((ADC_Read(3)/1024.0) * 100.0);
     tgs203Reading = ((ADC_Read(4)/1024.0) * 100.0);
     //if(mg811Reading < 0){ mg811Reading = 0;}

     //Vrl = val * ( 5.00 / 1024.0  );      // Volt
     //Rs = 20000 * ( 5.00 - Vrl) / Vrl ;   // Ohm
     //ratio =  Rs/Ro;
     //mg811Reading  =
     if(ctr > 10){
       IntToStr(mq135Reading, valueStr);
       Lcd_Out(1,13, valueStr);

       ctr = 0;
     }
     ctr = ctr + 1;
     Delay_ms(100);
  }
}

Revised Code that i made
Code:

sbit LCD_RS_Direction at TRISB4_bit;
sbit LCD_EN_Direction at TRISB5_bit;
sbit LCD_D4_Direction at TRISB0_bit;
sbit LCD_D5_Direction at TRISB1_bit;
sbit LCD_D6_Direction at TRISB2_bit;
sbit LCD_D7_Direction at TRISB3_bit;
