Hi!
I am working on my senior design project and nothing is being displayed on my LCD screen. I decided to just use the same LCD Demo that I based my program off of to see if that program was the actual issue. I have been using MPLAB IDE2 to program my PIC16F874. The LCD Demo doesn't work either!! The code is attached and I hope someone can help me to figure out what is wrong!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Also, if anyone has any working LCD display code that I could replace this code with please let me know. My project deadline is in 3 weeks and I need the code down within the week.
Thank you for all your assistance!!
I would quickly post on PIC or micro-controllers forums, for more specialized help. Here's one on Yahoo that mentions your PIC model:

Right away, I'd want something that proved your LCD and kit, are still in good working order. You could waste a lot of time & effort trying to program a kit that has gone South. Then, you'd also have a known good program to use as a "backbone" for your own program to be molded after.
I just tried an old program I used before that worked and it displayed the characters just fine on the lcd screen. Therefore, it is something with this particular code. Any suggestions?
1. Have you soldered properly.
2. Is the device responding.
3. What compiler/IDE are you using?
1.) Yes, everything is soldered properly and everything is receiving the correct voltage, etc.
2.) The device is responding to other programs, just not the DEMO program so the entire setup is all set.
3.) I am using MPLAB IDE v. 8.10 to compile my program.
Do you have the old program's code, so you can see what *does* work?
I'd start with that, and then add one function at a time from your code, and see what works.
