i have tried many times to interface 16*2 lcd display with lpc1769 but it was not displaying anything.
if you have any source code plese send it to iru1688@gmail.com.

This is my code:

I tried with 8-bit mode, its working fine on 16*2 lcd display. But i need some help for 4 bit mode. if anyone got the output please share the source code.
Please find the attached files for 4 bit mode.

Could you share what you did to get it working?

Check www.zembedded.com there is a good tutorial for LCD interface with different controllers....thanks!

That looks more like it - thanks.

What kind of LCD controller are you using?

Are you sure about the levels of LCDEN and LCDWR.
You code assumes that the LCDEN is active high, the LCD I use has an active low enable pin.
And the R/W line ? You are setting LCDWR high to read and low to write (seems OK to me but you never know)

Same goes for LCDRS: 0 = Control register and 1 = Data register ???

The lcd_data_write and lcd_command_write look strange.
You first set LCDEN, then set the data, then clear LCDEN, then set LCDEN again, set the data and clear LCDEN.
After this you call wait_lcd().

Make sure the data and LCDRS are set to the correct values before triggering LCDEN.

as an optimization: combine lcd_command_write() and lcd_data_write(), they are the same (they should be) except for the value of LCDRS.

I'm sorry but your code is absolutely bogus.

The delay function does not delay the given number of ticks and includes some weird assignments.
lcd_command_write is defined as a void function but returns a value, it uses two variables x and y that are not defined anywhere and assigns values to temp and temp1 that are not used at all.
I have not even looked at lcd_data_write since that function is incomplete but I'm guessing ...

Are you sure you know what you are doing ???

You need to connect the display in some way to the lpc1769 (I2C, SPI, parallel or ??? interface), initialize the I/O, initialize the LCD controller (which LCD controller type are you using ?) and only then you might be able to show any data on the LCD itself.
