Hi!
I am a beginner in PIC and I have built a specific circuit(my design) that
features a
16x2 LCD which is connected to a 16F877 pic running at 4MHz. The data
bits(DB4-7) are connected to the Lower nibble of PORTB(0:3) and the control
lines to PORTE, RE0 to E, RE1 to R/W and RE2 to RS. As you might already
realize I want to use the LCD in the 4bit mode. The Higher nibble of port B
will be used as inputs

I have spend hours of reading datasheets, internet pages how to use the lcd
and I didn't see light to the tunnel. I have also tried to use ready made
routines but because they were abstracts from largest projects I didn't
manage to so modify them in order to make my lcd to work.

I would be grateful if you can sent me the minimal code required to just
display a single character on the LCD to verify that is working, also that
will give me a very good starting point to proceed further my own to
implement more complicated functions of the LCD.

Thanks in advance,
