[ABOELLEEL]

can you send the code? it's helpful to find the errors.

If you can't see the cursor then remove

 Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CURSOR_OFF);

from the program. What do you mean by sending orders?

 

[ABOELLEEL]

I cant because it very long and in many files (and of course secret)
but i want order in mikroC to appear cursor

Order means commands as Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_BLINK_CURSOR_ON);

 

[internetuser2k12]

Do you want the LCD to display Cursor?

 

[ABOELLEEL]

yes.................
and i deleted all Lcd_CURSOR_OFF

 

[internetuser2k12]

Have you added the code

 Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_BLINK_CURSOR_ON);

?

 

[ABOELLEEL]

Lcd_Custom_Config(&PORTB,7,6,5,4,&PORTC,4,3,5); // DB4 14, DB5 15, DB6 16, DB7 17, RS 42, E 43
////Lcd_Custom_Cmd(Lcd_CURSOR_OFF); // Turn cursor off
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_TURN_ON);
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_BLINK_CURSOR_ON);
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_FIRST_ROW);
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_MOVE_CURSOR_LEFT);

Lcd_Custom_Config(&PORTB,7,6,5,4,&PORTC,4,3,5); // DB4 14, DB5 15, DB6 16, DB7 17, RS 42, E 43
////Lcd_Custom_Cmd(Lcd_CURSOR_OFF); // Turn cursor off
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_TURN_ON);
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_BLINK_CURSOR_ON);
(1)
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_FIRST_ROW);
(2)
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_MOVE_CURSOR_LEFT);

Hi ABOELLEEL;
I'm never using the embedded LCD commands but I have a thought:
- the above (1) instruction sets the cursor to its home (very first) position (1:1), is not it?
- but the (2) moves the cursor to left, I think to an invisible position

hi aboellel,

why not you use lcd_cmd()? you first pin details in top of the program.

He is using mikroC v 8.2.0.0. So there is no Lcd_Cmd()
