LCD not initialized!

 

Check your circuit connections.

 

Still not working, then modify the lcdcmd() function as shown below.

 

void lcdcmd(unsigned char cmdout)
{
        lcdport=cmdout;             //Send command to lcdport=PORTB
        rs=0;                                               
        rw=0;

        Delay_ms(10);               //add a delay here also
        en=1;
        Delay_ms(10);
        en=0;
}

 

Also make sure that the PORTB, rs, rw, en are properly set as output, and the function Delay_ms() is generating millisecond delays as much as the parameter given in the function call.
