Working with LCD

[Altera_Forum]

Pardon how amateur this looks, I havent had much practice 

 Here is the code I wrote, as far as I can tell I've wired everything up as documented in the code, but when I try to run it, the bottom Blocks of the LCD go solid, like the other forums said should happen before it's initialized. But I see no response at the LCD. It may have looked neater if Freddy Krueger had soldered it, but I am pretty sure I didn't damage it.   This is a standrd LCD from sparkfun. I am working with the Cyclone II starter Kit, and I am a reformed Visual Basic Person, so thats why I seem to write code a little different.   Please tell me if anything you see would make this not work, or if you have any tips on how to do it more effeciently, I know it looks really amateur at this point.   module LCD_PRINT(IOBUS,deb2,clk,STC);   output [30:0] IOBUS;  // output pins  input [3:0] deb2;  //debounce signal, I step through this with the buttons so I can test signals  input clk;  // standard clock from starter board (27mhz)  reg [7:0] outc;  // 8 bits going out to data db0-db7  reg RS;  // register select  input [3:0] STC;  // STC count incremented from debounce, its on 7seg LCD for testing  reg [16:0] count;  // timer for leaving E high for a while, then shutting it  reg writing;  // reg for E on or off   // debounce comes as a pulse from another module // this part generates my E writing signal to LCD // Simulation seems to work  always@(posedge clk)  begin  if (deb2!=4'b0000 & count==0)  begin   count=1;   writing=0;  end  if (count>0 & count!=1000)  begin   count=count+1;  end  if (count>200 & count !=1000)  begin   writing=1;  end  if (count==1000)  begin   count=0;   writing=0;  end   //this segment sets output for each data sent, STC is count that is incrementd in the debounce module if (STC==1)  begin  outc=8'b00111000;   // send 38h for 8 bit mode   RS=0;  end  if (STC==2)  begin   outc=8'b00001111;   // send 0Fh for "Display On"   RS=0;  end  if (STC==3)  begin   outc=8'b00000001;   // send 01h to clear  RS=0;  end  if (STC==4)  begin   outc=8'b00001111;   RS=1;  end  if (STC==5)  begin   outc=8'b01111111;   RS=1;  end  if (STC==6)  begin   outc=8'b11111111;   RS=1;  end  if (STC==7)  begin   outc=8'b01010101;   RS=1;  end  end  assign IOBUS[0]=0;  // IOBUS[0]=R/W always at 0 for writing  assign IOBUS[1]=RS;  // IOBUS[1]= RS 0 for command, 1 for data  assign IOBUS[2]=writing;  // IOBUS[2]=RE   assign IOBUS[3]=outc[0];  assign IOBUS[4]=outc[1];  assign IOBUS[5]=outc[2];  assign IOBUS[6]=outc[3];  assign IOBUS[7]=outc[4];  assign IOBUS[8]=outc[5];  assign IOBUS[9]=outc[6];  assign IOBUS[10]=outc[7];   endmodule _________________ It's good to be evil
