Hi,
As requested I am going to attach a download file to this posting.
Its written in assembler using MPLAB IDE 7.x, for a 16F877 PIC, running at
4mHz, with a 2/4 line LCD, Hitachi HD44780 controller.
Before the ?expert? programmers start giving me flak, I know that
the program isnt 'optimised', 'rationalised' or 'pasturised' and there
are at least a dozen different ways to do it better, BUT it works and it
will give you are starting point.
When an simple LCD program can be seen up and running, it gives
the novice programmer the opportunity to try 'what if I do this!'.
There is nothing worse than a blank display, it give no clues to the problem.
Its the same as the PC's 'blue screen of death', useless.
Regards
EricG
If I cant get the file to attach I'll post it.
