hi guys,
i am new to the forum,
i have been struggling with something and was hoping you guys could help.
i am currently using a pic16f690 and a 16x2 character LCD, to display a string.
my initialization seems to be done correctly as i am getting the both rows visible in the background, and not the single row of solid black blocks. i can move the cursor to different positions on the screen, but i can't print any text or characters to the screen, any ideaz?
i am using it in 8-bit mode,
my enable pin is on RB4,
RW is grounded as i am only printing to the screen,
RS is connected to RB6,
and my data lines D0-D7 -> are connected to PORTC
your help is greatly appreciated
thanks
