Hi,

 

Tune(adjust) the variable resistor placed between pin number 2 & 3 of LCD.

Please specify the kind of problem that you have with the project ? Is there any display on the LCD? Your LCD got initialized or not ?

Thanx alot everyone but i got it fixed. The problem was that the reset was to be connected with a button where a capacitor and resistor both were to be connected to voltage whereas in the schematic of engineers garage resistor is connected to gnd.
