concerning this code,
1. why is rs set to command mode?
2.How come it is not set back to symbol mode
3. Why did you swop the intput of lcd port, i changed the code so that it just read bit 3, and it still seems to work, was there any other reason for the swop command
Code:
LCD_Busy
bsf STATUS, RP0 ;set bank 1
movlw 0x0f ;set Port for input
movwf LCD_TRIS
bcf STATUS, RP0 ;set bank 0
bcf LCD_PORT, LCD_RS ;set LCD for command mode
bsf LCD_PORT, LCD_RW ;setup to read busy flag
bsf LCD_PORT, LCD_E
swapf LCD_PORT, w ;read upper nibble (busy flag)
bcf LCD_PORT, LCD_E
movwf templcd2
bsf LCD_PORT, LCD_E ;dummy read of lower nibble
bcf LCD_PORT, LCD_E
btfsc templcd2, 7 ;check busy flag, high = busy
goto LCD_Busy ;if busy check again
bcf LCD_PORT, LCD_RW
bsf STATUS, RP0 ;set bank 1
movlw 0x00 ;set Port for output
movwf LCD_TRIS
bcf STATUS, RP0 ;set bank 0
return
