Strange LCD problem with PIC16F876A

[Glenn]

Try increasing LCD_COMMANDUS

DEFINE LCD_COMMANDUS 2000

Most of the displays I have take at least 1.6mS to complete a clear screen.

Yes, that fixed the problem.

STRANGE.. I never had to change this value before ? I can't understand why the same
test program works on the same display, with the same pins, at the same frequency on a 16F877A ?

Well, as long as it works I'm happy thanks alot!

Hi,

Melabs changed the default value from 2000 to 1500 with release 2.50 ... WHY ??? , Good question !!!

note you also can avoid resetting the LCD for each printed line ...

by using LCDOUT $FE,2 .... ( home command )

or LCDOUT $FE, $80 ... ( beginning of first line )

and overwrite the existing displayed characters.
