P16F1827 and LCD Problems

[Bobw55]

I only have the demo version which does NOT support the 16F1827.
I have:
MPLAB 8.63 PICKIT3
MikroBasic
MikroC-Pro
MikroPro-Suite

I found the Assembly template file for the 16F1827 and will start using that to build with.
From my reading last night I figured out that I have to define or tell the program the pinout of the LCD to the PIC. Set the LCD for 4bit High nibble, then I can send the initialization string to it. (I think)
My first goal is just to get it to Initialize.
Second Print some text.
Third read and display the value of a switch.
I will do this, even if it takes a sledge hammer

Managed to get some code written and displayed.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE POINTERS

Hello BobW

About "your" MikroC Pro program ...

1) are you sure it has been written ( by you ??? ) for a '1827
2) did you create a project ??? ( the " module " error comes from here )

once " trimmed " it gives :

1198 ROM .... should compile fine with the demo version, no ???

[HUMOUR ON]

How much with PBP ????

nooooooo .... not on the head !!!

How much with PBP ????

With PBP, give or take a few:
Program Memory Words Used: 285
Program Memory Words Free: 3811

Give or take a little. So, about 7%, compared to MicroC's 29% used.

Now, this is not a fair comparison, because I don't know what MicroC's test program you are using, or what it does. PBP numbers are for just printing two variables to an LCD display.
