Interfacing PIC16F887 with LCD display – CCS C compiler

PIC16F887 LCD Example (Hello world!)
PIC16F887 LCD hardware circuit

This post shows a simple example for interfacing PIC16F887 microcontroller with 16×2 and 20×4 LCDs using CCS C compiler. CCS C has a driver which allows us to control LCDs that have HD44780 or compliant controller.

Required Components:

  • PIC16F887 Microcontroller
  • 1602 (16×2) or 2004 (20×4) or any LCD compatible with HD44780 controller
  • 10K Potentiometer
  • 0.1µF Ceramic capacitor (optional)
  • +5V Power source
  • Breadboard
  • Jumper wires
