I also tried every used pin with an LED. All of the is working and connected properly to the LCDs pins on a breadboard.

 

Getting the CONTRAST on the LCD set to something appropriate is one of those first steps that you need to fix. If you don't then the LCD will mask all your efforts to getting it working.

On the LCD, connect a 1kΩ resistor between pin-1 (VSS) and pin-3 (VEE).
Do you see black rectangles on the LCD screen?

Already said - post #5.
And TS has this sorted - post #20.

 

I don't see how changing pins makes life any easier except with the actual wiring or PCB design.

Not on topic -- but for those of us concerned with speed, aligning nibbles makes a big difference with respect to instruction cycles consumed.

 

Thanks for everybody.
Its working.

I used this library.

Still dont understand why the compilers inner example didn't work.

Thanks again.
You helped a lot.

Glad you got it working! Myself, I learned after some research that the reason you don't need to init the IO (TRIS etc) is that the ccs compiler writes to the TRIS bit and PORT bit on each IO when you use functions like output_low(xx).
Interesting.

Arrrg! Another reason to add to my list why I hate compilers for embedded programming.

Yup! Same goes for 3rd party libraries and RTOSs too.

It is likely not the compiler but a function being used.
