Hello everyone!! I'm trying to initialize LCD in the DE2-115 board. I know that the LCD is based in HDD44780U and I have following the datasheet to initialize it but the LCD turns crazy.
See my Initiazitaion code:
And see my example to print in the lcd:
is there anyone could help me?
Thank you very much.
