HD44780 LCD Driver for a PIC

The post will utilize the popular Hitachi HD44780 16x2 Character LCD (sometimes mispelled HD47780) to print simple messages from an 8-bit PIC. I will be using the PIC16F1829 to write to the LCD in 4-bit mode (only 4 pins). The PIC16F1829 comes with the PICkit 3 Low Pin Count Demo Board or the PICkit 3 Starter Kit. Microchip's starter kit hardware....... Read More
