PIC18F4525 & LCD simple code problem

[aggie007]

Hi,

I am new to any kind of programming and I am using PicBasic Pro to program PIC18F4525. I am hooking up the PIC to a parallel LCD screen which has HD44780 controller (16X2). I am just trying to test the connection and the working of the LCD by writing a code which displays a one line test statement. I am using Micro Code Studio.

The LCD screen is not displaying the message I want it to and remains blank. I know this is a very minor issue, but I am doing this stuff for the first time !!!

The LCD is connected to 4 pins of the PIC, since it is in 4 bit mode.

Please help me out with this....I would really appreciate it !!!


Here is the code -


DEFINE OSC 20

'******Setting up the LCD display******

DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTB
DEFINE LCD_DBIT 4
DEFINE LCD_RSREG PORTB
DEFINE LCD_RSBIT 7
DEFINE LCD_EREG PORTB
DEFINE LCD_EBIT 6
DEFINE LCD_BITS 4
DEFINE LCD_LINES 2
'DEFINE LCD_COMMANDUS 2000
'DEFINE LCD_DATAUS 50

TRISB=0

LCDOUT $FE, 1
LCDOUT "PIC - LCD Test "
LCDOUT $FE, $C0

STOP

END
