| t6963c graphical lcd drivers |

Edit (update Feb 11 2005):
Just got this message from Treitmey:
| Quote: | Found that in the read of data, some of my hardware requires that
that an #asm nop #endasm is needed before latching the data.
Some of the documentation also states wait 150nS. I figured 1 noop is enough.
Can you update you listing in the code library as such.

Done. Thanks Treitmey!
Hi,
Here's some code that Treitmey originally posted some time ago - I modified it a bit. It's a complete set of drivers for a graphical lcd equipped with the toshiba T6963C controller.
The hookup is really easy - you only need 8 data lines, and an additional 4 control lines: /WR, /RD, C/D (command/data), and /RESET. There is a document regarding the 6963 chip somewhere on the 'net that says that you also need to hook up the /CE signal, but you don't. Just tie it to ground, along with the FS pin (font select), which will give you 8x8 sized spaces for characters (the characters are always 5x7, regardless of the state of the FS pin).
The only function of the display that I haven't implemented is the user-defined characters in the text mode.
Most of the 240x64 displays come with 8k RAM, which is enough for about 4 full unique displays. To quickly switch between these displays, just set the graphics home to the base address of the new screen/picture.
Anyway, here's some sample code (18F452 @ 4 MHz) that I cut & pasted from a project that I'm currently working on. That's the reason why the interrupts are enabled, but there are no interrupt routines.
| Code: | #include <18F452.h>
#device *=16
#device adc=10
#use delay(clock=4000000,RESTART_WDT)
#fuses XT, BROWNOUT, BORV27, PUT, STVREN, NOLVP

void main() {
setup_adc_ports(ALL_ANALOG);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8);
setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
setup_spi(FALSE);
setup_wdt(WDT_ON);
setup_timer_0(RTCC_DIV_256|RTCC_8_bit);

glcd_init();
glcd_WriteByte(1, (LCDModeSet|LCDMode_XOR));
glcd_WriteByte(1, (LCDDispMode|LCDDisp_TXT|LCDDisp_GRH));
} |
The above code will initialize the graphic lcd. If you wanted to display "Hi there" beginning at screen location column 4, row 3, then these two commands will do that:
| Code: | glcd_gotoxy(4,3,1); // 1 = text area of memory; note that there are only
// 8 rows of text possible
glcd_putc("Hi there"); |
If you wanted to create an 8 pixel x 8 pixel black square with the upper left corner of the square located at 9 pixels in from the left, and 43 pixels down from the top, then this code will do that:
| Code: | int n;
for (n = 0; n< 8; n++) {
glcd_gotoxy(2,43+n,0); // 0 = graphics memory area; note that there
// are still 30 columns (30 x 8 pixels = 240), but now there are now 64
// rows so pixel location 9,43 translates into column 2, row 43. A little
// confusing, I know, but that's the way it works.
glcd_WriteCmd1(0xff,0xc0);

| changes for 16f877 |

Assuming that your graphical lcd also uses the toshiba controller, there's really only 2 things you need to change:
1. Where it says | Code: | | #byte LCD = 0xf82 // portC address on 18F452 |
, change the address from 0xf82 to 7. The place to find this is in Microchip's datasheet for the 16F877 - look for "Special Function Registers" in the datasheet's table of contents.
2. Where it says | Code: | | const int8 TextArea = 0x001e; // how many bytes before a new line |
, change this to 0x0010, which would be the number of bytes wide your screen is (0x0010 = 16 = 128 dots/8 dots/byte). Also change the GraphicsArea to 0x0010 as well. |

Hello newguy:
May you put some example to draw a box or a line, with your routines ?
I don't understand your example to draw a black square.
Also, if may you put some example to set ON and set OFF a specific pixel.
I don't see in your source code, function to clear screen.
Kind regards. |

This is my clear screen routine
| Code: |
// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - //
// Purpose: Clears LCD RAM
// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - //
void glcd_clr(int16 location,int16 size)
{
////fprintf(DEBUG,"loc=%lu size=%lu\n\r",location,size);
// look very simular to the init,... doesn't it. : )
glcd_WriteCmd2(location,LCDSetPtr);
glcd_WriteCmd0(AutoModeWrite);
for (;size;size--)
{
glcd_WriteByteAuto(0x00);//clear ram
}
glcd_WriteCmd0(AutoModeReset);
}
|
and get the location using a define
#define LCDTxtAdr(s,x,y) 0x780+(240*s)+(AreaSet_T*y)+x
//that is the screen,x position , y position
so the call looks like
glcd_clr(LCDTxtAdr(SCRN0,0,0),CharPerScn);
Hope this helps |

by the way,.. I use this define to print text all the time.
| Code: |
glcd_WriteCmd2(LCDTxtAdr(SCRN0,2,2),LCDSetPtr);//(screen,x,y)
printf(glcd_putc, "ADDRESS=%u",MyAddr);

Hi,
This is ganesh. I am using 128 * 128 graphical display(t6963c) and it was succesfully initialised. But i cant able to change the font size from 5*8 to 8*8. What should i do.
Can U help me.
Thanking U. |

On my board this is done with a jumper to the FS pin on the header.
From Hantronix AppNote.
A zero on FS will place a 5x7 pixel character in a 8x8 field.((30 char/line))
A one on FS will place a 5x7 pixel character in a 6x8 field.
((240/6=40 char /line))
NOTE THAT THE FONT IS STILL 5x7...It is just the field that changes |

hi,
just want to know if I'm using Port A.0 as C/D, A.1 as read, A.2 as write, A3 as reset and Port B as data bus, what instruction should i change?
I'm using 16f877a
Thanks |

Try the
struct lcd_pin_def LCD;
#byte LCD = 0xf82 // portC address on 18F452
and related tris.
Note also that port a is probably "open collector" |

Hi guys,
I just tested the code and it works 
But I'm using a 240x120 display
I was wondering what value should I change for 1FFF to clear all the ram value on the screen :
// Clear all RAM of LCD (8k)
glcd_WriteByte(1, AutoModeWrite);
for (counter = 0; counter < 0x1fff; counter++)
{
glcd_WriteByteAuto(0); // fill everything with zeros
}
glcd_WriteByte(1, AutoModeReset); |

Just so you know. You should ask questions in main forum. NOT here in the code library.
1 bit of memory for every 1 bit on screen. so...
I think its just 240*120=0x7080=28800
Will that nuber fit in the variable size alloted? |

I'm a little confused. You say it works, yet you ask about clearing a 240x120 display.
The t6963c controller has 8k of RAM built-in. 8k is enough for 65,536 individual pixels (8,192 bytes x 8 pixels/byte), and a 240 x 120 display only has 28,800. The routine, as it stands, should clear the display without any modifications.
However, if you have a display with TWO t6963c controllers, it will not. |
