hi..can somebody help me with this 2x16 lcd?
i bought it from bizchip.com. already read the datasheet,but still can't get it works.I try to connect the lcd with PIC16f877A (port b).At least there should be a sign that the LCD is working rite?Instead, once all the circuitry is powered up,the lcd still does not ON. Anybody??
No, the LCD needs to be initialized by the micro, through some commands.
Are you running anything on the PIC? Perhaps the code is not right, or the timing, or... there are a few things that can go wrong.
how are you my dear
you shoul take care of the control lines of the LCD where you should determine you want to write data or command
if command u sholud make" EN from HIgh to low puls and RS to be =0"and send the command after that make EN =1
if data u sholud make" EN from HIgh to low puls and RS to be =1"and send the command after that make EN =1
