Why is code for Arduino LCD messing up code for Stepper Motor?

Question

I have a basic code for a stepper motor which is shown below, but for some reason whenever I try to add the code for my 2 LCDs it messes everything up. The output to the motor just keeps firing over and over again with no delay, and the LCDs dont even print anything out. What I am doing wrong?

Simple Stepper code (This is the working one)

#define IN1  52
#define IN2  50
#define IN3  48
#define IN4  46
int Steps = 4096; //4096 or 768
int cstep = 0;

void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(9600);
    pinMode(IN1, OUTPUT); 
    pinMode(IN2, OUTPUT); 
    pinMode(IN3, OUTPUT); 
    pinMode(IN4, OUTPUT); 
}

void loop()
{
    for(int x=0; x<Steps; x++)
    {
        step1();
        delayMicroseconds(2500);
    }
    Serial.println("Boom!!");
    delay(1000);
}

void step1()
{
    //stepp
    switch(cstep)
    {
        case 0:
             digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); 
             digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN3, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN4, HIGH);
             break; 

        case 1:
             digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); 
             digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN3, HIGH);
             digitalWrite(IN4, HIGH);
             break; 

        case 2:
             digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); 
             digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN3, HIGH);
             digitalWrite(IN4, LOW);
             break; 

        case 3:
             digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); 
             digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH);
             digitalWrite(IN3, HIGH);
             digitalWrite(IN4, LOW);
             break; 

        case 4:
             digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); 
             digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH);
             digitalWrite(IN3, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN4, LOW);
             break; 

        case 5:
             digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH); 
             digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH);
             digitalWrite(IN3, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN4, LOW);
             break; 

        case 6:
             digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH); 
             digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN3, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN4, LOW);
             break; 

        case 7:
             digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH); 
             digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN3, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN4, HIGH);
             break; 

        default:
             digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); 
             digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN3, LOW);
             digitalWrite(IN4, LOW);
             break; 
    }
    cstep=cstep+1;
    if (cstep==8)
    {
       cstep=0;
    }
}

   void lcdClear(){
       lcd.setCursor(0,0);
       lcd.clear();
   }

   void lcd2Clear(){
       lcd2.setCursor(0,0);
       lcd2.clear();
   }

Don't know if this helps but my board is a Mega 2560-R3

Answer 1

PIN 1 is comunication pin, not Digital. It's TX0. I think you shouldn't use it. PIN 14 for the second display is TX1. It should be again Digital. Try changing them:)
