16x2 lcd interfacing with msp430g2553

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553

HI,

Iam using msp430g2553 and below code is  using  but no string should be displayed

can any help what i mistake

//
// MSP430 LCD interface
//
// | LCM |
// LCM Pin # | Function | MSP Pin #
//----------------------------
// PIN 5 | RW | GND
// PIN 4 | RS | P2.1
// PIN 6 | EN | P2.0
// PIN 14 | DB7 | P2.5
// PIN 13 | DB6 | P2.4
// PIN 12 | DB5 | P2.3
// PIN 11 | DB4 | P2.2
//

/*
The other LCM pins connections are as follows:

Pin #16 | GND
Pin #15 | Vcc
Pin #3 | Outout from potentiometer for LCD contrast
Pin #1 | GND
Pin #2 | Vcc
