#154032 - Silabs C8051F020 and LCD busy bit
The following code to check the Busy bit works fine with a P89C51RD2 and the HD44780 LCD displays OK.


void chkBusy (void) // Check if LCD ready to accept next command
{
LCD_PORT = 0xff; // Set data port for input
while (BusyBit) // Remain in loop till busy bit is high
{
LCD_ENB = 0;
bitDelay(); // A 5us delay for a defined pulse
LCD_ENB = 1;
}
}

However with the Silabs chip, I am configuring P0 as the LCD_Port in the cross bar in Push-Pull mode. And the above function does not work. ( But if I use a fixed 2ms delay instead of checking the Busy bit then the display if OK - so not to doubt the LCD , connections etc. )

Any pointers to what could be wrong ?

Thanks

Raghu
