    Default LCD back-light on with command, but no text display on LCD

    I have UART1 XD connected to EDE702, then EDE702 connected to LCD.
    I am able to turn on back-light with below fisrt two lines, next few lines to display text, but text not displaying on LCD, can I get some sample code or how can I debug this?. thanks for help.


    //turn on backlight
    uart_putc(1, 254);
    uart_putc(1, 253);


    //display text
    uart_putc(1, 254);
    uart_putc(1, 1);
    uart_puts(1, "HELLO WORLD");


    //2nd line on LCD
    uart_putc(1, 0xFE);
    uart_putc(1, 0xC0));
    uart_puts(1, "2ND LINE DISPLAY");

    You might try giving the lcd an initial delay from 1/20 to 1/4 a second to turn on before you write to it.

    Looks like you are using the wrong language for this forum. We use Michrochip PIC's here, and a language called PicBasic. Hence the name PicBasic Forum.

    There are some examples here for a few different languages:

    Default no LCD display

    I have given initial delay for LCD to comeup. Then I issued commands like above, first Two lines to turn back-light on, then next command to set cursor, then to display text on LCD, next Three lines for second line to display.

    whatever the language is, I think this isto turn LCD on I believe.
