8-Bit LCD examples? I cannot get any 4-Bit LCD code to work

[Edward1]

It seems like all of the MikroC 8051 code samples I find are for 4-Bit LCD. I have tried to convert a MikroC 4-Bit LCD example to 8-bit without success, but engaging presently.

I'm unsure why my common 1602 LCD won't operate in 4-bit mode, they are displaying a couple of the stored characters and many random senseless characters in the MikroC LCD example. Each time Reset is pushed they change.

Are the LCD and LCD_Constants libraries for 4-bit only?
Any 8-bit example MikroC projects or code appreciated.

Hello,

There is only 4bit library for 8051.You must write own library or find some code on internet for 8bit library.
Here is one library for PIC but we don't have source code:
