Exclamation Lcd
Hello. I have some problem with my LCD codes. I'm using an 8x2 character display. The program codes can be build successfully in the MP lab program but the characters would not show on the LCD. I tried troubleshooting but i cant find the problem. Below is my LCD codes. Any help is greatly appreciated(:

Re: Lcd
Most of your define statements aren't necessary which cause your code to be confusing and you should work on your indentation.
It's recommended to use LATB for outputs instead of PORTB.
It isn't necessary to send 0x03 to the LCD on start up. You can just delay for 200mS while it starts up and begin with the Function Set (datasheet).
The LCD is enabled by a high-to-low transition on E.

(Toggle Plain Text) 
LCD_E = 1;
LCD_E = 0;

A slight delay of a 1uS or two between those might be necessary if your using a fast clock. The LCD needs to be enabled like that after every instruction or data you put on its pins.

You need to create a re-usable program which simply displays any string that you pass to a function. Forget numerical data until you've done that.
