How to work with LCD in a mode of 8 bits?

[MCU Destroyer]

Please look my code:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
define osc 20
Define LCD_DREG PORTA
Define LCD_DBIT 0
Define LCD_RSREG PORTE
Define LCD_RSBIT 0
Define LCD_EREG PORTE
Define LCD_EBIT 1
DEFINE LCD_RWREG PORTE
DEFINE LCD_RWBIT 2

ADCON1 = 7
Pause 3000
loop: Lcdout $fe, 1
Pause 9000

Lcdout "Hello"
Pause 9000

Lcdout $fe, $c0, "World"
Pause 9000

Goto loop
End

LCD model: MT-16S2H (v.3) - this LCD full combine on conclusions with any LCD (for example Data Vision). And I use PIC16F877A, quartz 20 MHz (mode HS for PIC).

Probably really wash PIC works too quickly but how I then can increase a delay of commands for LCD? I have not found suitable commands...

From the PBP manual
5.39. LCDOUT

‘ Set command delay time in us
DEFINE LCD_COMMANDUS 2000

‘ Set data delay time in us
DEFINE LCD_DATAUS 50

how about PORTA.4??? is this pin tie with pull-up resistor???

Not sure if PBP handle the R/W pin for you. Can you add a LOW PORTE.0 and post results...

Great thank All !

Now all worked.

When I use commands

DEFINE LCD_COMMANDUS 2000
DEFINE LCD_DATAUS 50

and increased delays by 30 %, LCD has earned in a mode 4 bits.

But nevertheless it is possible in PBP to work with LCD in a mode 8 bits?

But nevertheless it is possible in PBP to work with LCD in a mode 8 bits?

DEFINE LCD_BITS 8

But why would you want to waste 4 Port Bits?

Now I any more do not wish to spend all for nothing a bits of port. It simply question for the my general development - became already interestingly can-whether PBP work with LCD in a mode 8 bits.

Once again all many thanks !
