Hello there I am trying to display a message on the lcd of this custom designed Microcontroller kit (www.nskelectronics.in/.../8051_project_board.pdf) using P89V51RD2N. I have tried to burn the following program but it just doesn't work.Can someone help me with this ..where am I going wrong.??....
#include <REG51.H> char check = 0x80; sbit EN = P3^4 ; sbit RS = P3^5; //sbit RW = ; //not mentioned on the schematic void delay(); unsigned char array[3]; sfr dat = 0x90; //data lines are connected to LCD from port P1 - as per the circuit void delay(void); void cmd() { RS = 0; //RW = 0; EN = 1; EN = 0; delay(); } void write_lcd() { RS = 1; //RW = 0; EN = 1; EN = 0; delay(); } void init_lcd() { dat = 0x38; cmd(); dat = 0x01; cmd(); dat = 0x0c; cmd(); dat = 0x86; cmd(); dat = 0xdf; write_lcd(); dat = 0x51 ; write_lcd(); } void delay() { int i,j; for(i = 0; i< 75 ; i++) for(j = 0; j < 75 ; j++); } void main() { for(;;) init_lcd(); }
Also I would like to know the purpose of the startup code in a Keil project...Is it obligatory to use the startup code?.
Thanks
from your paid activities should, of course be

its ok a small typo but definitely describes the hectic pressure you would be under ...
its ok a small typo but definitely describes the hectic pressure you would be under I am not under "hectic pressure" but the people that pay me for working would not appreciate if I took time out to figure out your scribbles
This is my last post in this thread, your whines "please check my scribbles" do not affect me.

Ok Erik seems you are disappointed with the way I presented the issue here.I have coded another one this time with proper comments and even this doesn't seem to show anything on the LCD screen...the LCD is glowing but nothing is shown up
