I been trying to change this to work on a 16f684 using a 74hc164 for the shift register. With no luck I was using some code that Myke Predko wrote in a book i have 123 pic microcontorller experiments.
I think the delays are not working right or it's FSR It's driving me crazy.
Code: 
	list		p=16f684		; list directive to define processor
	#include	<P16F684.inc>		; processor specific variable definitions
	
	__CONFIG    _CP_OFF & _CPD_OFF & _BOD_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _WDT_OFF & _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _MCLRE_ON & _FCMEN_OFF & _IESO_OFF

Thanks for any help


See i get this when I build the line it points to is the delay
Warning[202] C:\2WIRE\2WIRE1.ASM 163 : Argument out of range. Least significant bits used.
Warning[202] C:\2WIRE\2WIRE1.ASM 174 : Argument out of range. Least significant bits used.

Oh one more thing the lcd comes on and rolls out 8 squares

Oh man i wish this was in C lol if it was i would be able to help more.

1 question.... can you test the shift registers output to ensure the pins are shifting.


It seems to be a delay issue tho. Try creating your own delays and see what happens.

Why use: 256 - ( 160 / 4 )
why not just use:

216

also why: 256 - 0x0E8
why 0x0E8 ? its the same as 0xE8 and in fact just use:

24

try it with those stable values and see if it helps
 
I found one for sure error I missed a pin on the 74hc164.
That sure didn't help.
I'm going to fix that first
 
I had changed the delay It was where I missed the wire LOL it's alive

What happen is I missed Q4 on the 74hc and put RS on Q5. That's why i want to start using PCB for my boards. To many jumper for things like this.
Your delay numbers worked the code as posted worked and the delays i got from here work
 
Similar problem but connections are fine:

I have a similar problem, using the code listed above, but changed for use with the PIC16F88. I have the 74HC164 connected to the PIC and HD44780 LCD screen as in the schematic that is the same as listed earlier (also attached).

The code compiles fine and runs in the MPLAB SIM fine but the output to the 2x16 LCD screen is more or less random characters displayed on the 2 rows. If power is taken away and re-applied the same thing happens with different characters located in different locations on the screen.

I can't figure out what is wrong. Searching for a 2 Wire Interface has turned up very little with the 16F88. If you see what I'm missing I'd really appreciate the help.

your code looks ok but i would use this to set digital
Code: 
BANKSEL ANSEL ; Select Bank of ANSEL
MOVLW 0x00 ; Configure all pins
MOVWF ANSEL ; as digital inputs
 
I tried adding your suggestion to add three commands to my configuration commands, though I thought it would do the exact same as "CLRF ANSEL".

It resulted in nothing different. I still think that the problem is in the commands that set-up and sending the data to the 74HC164 shift register itself. Any more ideas? I might just try doing this using PORT B instead of PORT A, though I'm wondering if this will make any difference at all.
 
Try this and see if it don't work

Thanks Burt! They worked, looking more closely at my circuit I noticed that the diode was inserted backwards. Now works like a charm :)
