Interfacing PIC16F877A with LCD using CCS C compiler

PIC16F877A LCD example

 

This topic shows a simple example for interfacing LCD display with HD44780 controller with PIC16F877A microcontroller using CCS PIC C compiler. 
In 4-bit mode there are 7 data lines between the PIC microcontroller and the LCD which are: RS, R/W, E, D4, D5, D6 and D7.
