PIC 16f877A LCD problem!

Hello uaf5000,

Well at first glance you are missing the line "DEFINE LCD DBIT 0". You also have a line that says you are only using 1 line when the statement "LCDOUT $FE,$C0" is the command to display the following on the second line of the LCD. Make these changes and see how it goes.
Your code can also read--"LCDOUT $FE,1,"Hello"
"LCDOUT $FE,$C0,"World"

I think this also may have been messing things up for you.

HTH,

BobK

Still same garbage values =(. I made the changes you told. But in those garbage values letter 'D' is appearing which wasn't before. What shall i do now? =(

PORTE is analog on this chip, so you will need to turn that off.

I've used the command ADCON1=%00000111. Didnt this command make port E digital?

Yes, I missed that

DEFINE LCD_BITS 8

Can you post how the LCD is connected?
