Need help with lcd controller

[TomB]

Hi,

I´ve got some trouble with a lcd. ( controller is hd44780) My pinout is as following :

PIC18F258

PIN A2 : LCD RS
PIN A4 : LCD RW
PIN A5 : LCD Enable

PIN C4 - C7 : LCD Data DB4 - DB7

my code doesn´t work ! can anybody help me, please ?!

#define LCD_RS PIN_A2
#define LCD_RW PIN_A4
#define LCD_E PIN_A5

#bit LCD_E_BIT = 0xF80.5
#bit LCD_RS_BIT = 0xF80.2
#bit LCD_RW_BIT = 0xF80.4

#byte LCD_DATA = PORTC


void LCD_Init(void);
void PUT_LCD_CMD(char Display_Data);
void ENABLE_LCD(void);
void Check_BF(void);


//*****************************************************************************
void LCD_Init(void)
{
// POWER ON
delay_ms(15);
LCD_RS_BIT = 0;
LCD_RW_BIT = 0;
LCD_DATA = (0b00110000);
ENABLE_LCD();
LCD_DATA = (0b00110000);
ENABLE_LCD();
LCD_DATA = (0b00110000);
ENABLE_LCD();


// Function set 4-bit Interface
LCD_RS_BIT = 0;
LCD_RW_BIT = 0;
LCD_DATA = (0b00100000);
ENABLE_LCD();


// Function set 4-bit Datenlaenge, 2-zeiliges Display, 5x7 Font
// N = 1 --> 2-line-display
// F = 0 --> 5x7 dot character font
// LCD_DATA = (0b0010NF**)
LCD_RS_BIT = 0;
LCD_RW_BIT = 0;
Display_Data = 0x28;
PUT_LCD_CMD(Display_Data);


// Display ON/OFF
// Display ein, Cursor ein, Cursor blinken
LCD_RS_BIT = 0;
LCD_RW_BIT = 0;
Display_Data = 0x0F;
PUT_LCD_CMD(Display_Data);


// Display clear
LCD_RS_BIT = 0;
LCD_RW_BIT = 0;
Display_Data = (0x01);
PUT_LCD_CMD(Display_Data);


// entry mode set
// I/D = 1 --> Increment
// S = 0 --> No Shift
// LCD_DATA = (0b0.0.0.0.0.1.I/D.S);
LCD_RS_BIT = 0;
LCD_RW_BIT = 0;
Display_Data = (0x06);
PUT_LCD_CMD(Display_Data);


}

//*****************************************************************************
void PUT_LCD_CMD(char Display_Data)
{
LCD_DATA = Display_Data;
ENABLE_LCD();
LCD_DATA = Display_Data << 4;
ENABLE_LCD();
}

//*****************************************************************************

{
LCD_E_BIT = 1;
delay_us(10);
LCD_E_BIT = 0;
delay_ms(5);
}

Are you using a pullup resistor on A4 as this is an open drain output??
