Here Data pins D0-D7 are connected to port1.0-port1.7 of 8951 microcontroller. Enable pin, RS are connected to P3.

3 and P3.4 of 8951 respectively. We can write program for LCD in two ways. Sending commands and data to LVDs with a time delay. Sending commands and data to LVDs with checking busy flag. 1. Program to display ELECTROFRIENDS in LCD without checking busy flag. MOV A,#38H ; initialization LCD 2lines, 57 matrix. ACALL COMMAND ; call command subroutine. ACALL DELAY ; call delay subroutine.
