WD-C2401P LCD Panel

I'm trying to control a WD-C2401P LCD panel (uses the Hitachi HD66717 dot-matrix lcd controller) using a pic16F913 http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/41250E.pdf ... i was following the steps from this page http://www.serialwombat.com/parts/lcd111.htm ..... unfortunately i don't have nothing on the screen

Code:

When this pin is low it resets the LCD. You can either tie this pin to a pin on your microcontroller so you can reset the LCD before initializtion ', or just tie it high. I had a couple of times where I couldn't init the LCD without first resetting it, so I'd recommend putting it under micro control ', or some other powerup controller. The reset low time should be at least 10ms. The time after reset before you start commanding the LCD should also be 'at least 10 ms. RS VAR PORTC.0 'REGISTER SELECT. This pin determines whether the data you're about to write is a command or a data byte. Commands do interesting stuff to the LCD, like 'set the number of lines or contrast. Data is what actually gets put on the screen, or in the custom character registers. High means Data, Low means 'command RW VAR PORTA.7 'READ / WRITE. Set this pin high to read from the display. Set this pin low to write to it. If you don't need to update the display super fast you can save an I/O line 'by just tying it to ground. Wait at least a millisecond between each command and data, though, since you can't query the busy status without read 'capability. E VAR PORTC.4 'ENABLE.
