Lcd display with PIC microcontroller and Mikro C compiler

In this tutorial you will learn how to interface LCD whit PIC16F877A Microcontroller. You can watch the video or read the written tutorial below.

LM16x2 Lcd Display

LCD means Liquid Crystal Display. In this project I am use LM 16X2 LCD Display. 16X2 means 16 column & 2 row in this display. There are 16*2 = 32 segment in this display. Each segment hold 
8x2 dot patterns. There are 16 pin for connections.

Component needed for this project

1. PIC16F877A
2. 8MHz Crystal
3. LM16x2 Lcd display
4. 10K POT
5. 10K
6. Breadboad
7. Connection wire
8. PICkit 2
9. PC
10. PIC Universal Programmer Adaptor

In this tutorial I am use Mikro C Pro For PIC compiler for coding. Mikro C Pro For Pic provide  a comfortable LCD library for LCD interfacing.

MIKRO C PRO FOR PIC LCD Library

The mikroC PRO for PIC provides a library for communication with Lcds (with HD44780 compliant controllers) through the 4-bit interface.

Lcd Library Routines

• Lcd_Init
• Lcd_Out
• Lcd_Out_Cp
• Lcd_Chr
• Lcd_Chr_Cp
• Lcd_Cmd

Mikro C code :

Code describe:

First time here I write codes for Lcd module connections and intialize Lcd in main funciton. Than I clear the Lcd and off the cursor.
