16F84A: My First PIC LCD Program

My First PIC LCD Program

http://www.jakeselectronics.net

This was the first ever propper program I have written for a PIC.
The program was an absolute mess, but it worked.
To an extent.

I learnt how to use LCD's using this PDF:
Download this:

There is also a part 2.

For a begginers guide to programming a PIC microcontroller, have a look here. I think this is where i started.

@jakeontheweb thanks

[jakeontheweb]

oh right o then.

Have a look again in the more info section.

I have added another link. That explains the most basic of PIC programming.

@jakeontheweb I don't care about te lcd, I want to know about the pic

[jakeontheweb]

there is a web address to a PDF document in the More Info section.

I learnt how to use these LCD's using that PDF.

@jakeontheweb where did you find out how to program it at?
