Hello everyone, I am trying to create a simple program to print "Hello" on LCD using PIC18F46K80 in mikroC. The circuit board on which I am working works perfectly with PIC16F887. But with 46k80, the LCD remains blank only. I guess I have configured everything properly in the hardware. Is LCD interfacing with PIC18F46K80 different with PIC16F887..?? Are there some special instructions that I should follow while using LCD with the former?? Or is there any special provision required to be done in the configuration file?

If so, please guide me the needful as I am going out blank with the current situation.

I am attaching my C file along with this topic for your reference. Do let me know if I am making a mistake. In this file, the outputs L1, L2 and L3 are working perfectly but nothing is occurring with LCD.

Thanks in advance.

Code:
sbit LCD_RS at RA3_bit;
sbit LCD_RW at RA2_bit;
sbit LCD_EN at RB4_bit;
sbit LCD_D4 at RD4_bit;
sbit LCD_D5 at RD5_bit;
sbit LCD_D6 at RE1_bit;
sbit LCD_D7 at RE2_bit;

sbit LCD_RS_Direction at TRISA3_bit;
sbit LCD_RW_Direction at TRISA2_bit;
sbit LCD_EN_Direction at TRISB4_bit;
sbit LCD_D4_Direction at TRISD4_bit;
sbit LCD_D5_Direction at TRISD5_bit;
sbit LCD_D6_Direction at TRISE1_bit;
sbit LCD_D7_Direction at TRISE2_bit;
