The lcd display doesn't show up. not sure what the problem is.
also the dc motor and bulb automatically turns on when i simulate
Kindly assist me

Papabravo Proteus doesn't sim the contrast.. That code works well.

I had to put a serial port INIT so the code would read the serial input, The whole thing works as it should.

BUT!!! I'm afraid to post my code as I use SDCC compiler and it will throw salt into the mix..

This code is working using a 11,095Mhz frequency.

C: 
#include <8052.h>
#include <string.h>

#define LCD_DATA_PORT P0
#define rs  P3_7
#define rw  P3_6
#define e  P3_5

#define bulb  P2_1

void delay(unsigned int time) {
    unsigned int i, j;
    for (i = 0; i < time; i++)
        for (j = 0; j < 127; j++);
}

void lcd_command(char cmd) {
 
    rs = 0;
    rw = 0;
        LCD_DATA_PORT = cmd;  // Send command
    e = 1;
    delay(1); // Adjust delay as needed
    e = 0;
}

void lcd_data(char store) {
 
    rs = 1;
    rw = 0;
        LCD_DATA_PORT = store;
    e = 1;
    delay(1); // Adjust delay as needed
    e = 0;
}

void lcd_init() {

Thank you, for this code but still doesn't show the display .
how ever I have made some editing now the code shows on the display but I'm not able to turn on the appliances.
I'm not sure what is happening with the rx and tx pins. The above is my new code

Look at the receive data routine I had to make a small change as it didn't work for me either.
My code works okay now..

Also That serial init is for 11.0952Mz crystal... You still didn't tell me what yours is

one more time... WHAT frequency speed are you using... The serial port has to be set up to suit the speed you are using. Your delay routine is counting 1275 so to get 1ms you will be running at a higher frequency than me.

Take the nominal 12Mhz, the tick cycle is 1us. Then "for(j=0;j<1275; j++)" will take a shed load longer than you think , each iteration clocks 15.14us ergo 10us * 1275 yeilds 19.3mS so much slower so you need to work out your delay.. I set mine at 127 because I'm running at 11.0592Mz ( baud friendly crystal )
I actually went the wrong way It should have been 27 the other way.. even 72 is too much, but for this it works, if each iteration takes 15,14mS you need 66 of them to get close to 1 mS.. less than this is better for the two overheads..

Then if you are using a 12Mhz frequency ( its in the edit properties ) your TH1 needs to be altered to suit.
12Mhz closest to 9600 baud is the same 0xFD but gives a baud of 10416 quite a bit off

I was never sure about baud error but a baud of 10416 will finish way before the stop bit
Note** the bit error after 8 bits will be over the 50%

The calculation is (10416-9600) / (9600) * 100 8.5% error the picture says it all

the sample is 50% of the bit each bit at 9600 is 1.04uS so the speed your getting ain't quite getting there

I'm using 11.0592Mhz....
Everything is working properly now. The delay was too big (1000). I had to reduce it.
Thank you very much.
