LCD INTERFACTING WITH 8051 MICROCONTROLLER

This project shows you how to interface 16x2 LCD with 8051 microcontroller, here i have used 89c51 microcontroller, but you can use any microcontroller of 8051.



LCD is connected to port 2 and some pins of port 3 of 89c51 microcontroller.
You can change the data by calling function  LCD_Show(), for example by calling function LCD_Show('P');
will show "P" on lcd.
