how to initialize a 16*1 lcd module in 4 bit mode in c language.


void LCD_init(void)
{
LCD_write(0,0x30);
LCD_write(0,0x0F);
LCD_write(0,0x06);
LCD_write(0,0x01);
LCD_write(0,0x00);
}


Do you want to communicate with the LCD in 8-bit mode or 4-bit mode? Because the 0x30 initialization above is setting the LCD to 8-bit mode. Sending 0x20 would be appropriate if you really want 4-bit mode.

However, I wonder if you really want 4-bit mode because your LCD_write routine is also communicating with the LCD in 8-bit mode, not 4-bit mode.

I'm also not sure what the 0x00 "command" is supposed to do. I'm not aware of that being a valid LCD command nor do I know what happens if you send it.
