Can't get stm8s003f3p6 to work with LCD1602!

Hello there!

 

I am trying to get an stm8s003f3p6 to display text on an LCD1602 the LCD has the adapter board PCF8574 on it.

PCF8574-IIC-I2C-TWI-SPI-Serial-Interface-Board-Top.jpg

I'm using STVD and cosmic C compiler.

 

I used chatgpt to write the code and after quite a bit of tweaking i got it to compile and build and programmed to it the smt8xxx using STVP. It all seemed to go well.

I've connect the SCL pin (B4) and SDA pin (B5) from STM8xxx and 5V and GND on STM8xxx to the corresponding pins on the PCF8574.

The 1602 does light up but no text appears on it.

Here's the code and any help would be great!

Oh, i had to comment out the inline assembly command in the code in the delay function as the compiler didn't like it so maybe that causing the issue?

If you decide to use "parallel interface" (3+4 pins) instead variant with I2C bridge then you can use my library: http://www.elektromys.eu/knihovny/stm8_hd44780_v20.zip
It runs in tens of applications of various users.
