16F914 with PICDEM 2 plus (ROHS) LCD display problem
PostPosted: Sat Feb 07, 2009 2:19 am     Reply with quote

I'm trying to make my PICDEM 2 plus demo board LCD to work... I have tried many sample program from internet but non seem to work for me... :(

The LCD did not display thing...

Any idea what might went wrong?

Here is my setup:
- ICD 2 programmer
- CCS PCM C compiler
- PICDEM 2 plus demo board (ROHS). Come with 16F877A chip
- 16F914

Code:

#include <16F914.h>
#Device ICD=TRUE
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,NOPROTECT


#define LCD_POWER  PIN_D7

#include "Flex_LCD.c"

//============================
void main()
{
output_high(LCD_POWER);  // Turn on power to LCD
output_low(LCD_RW);      // Set R/W pin on LCD to a low level

lcd_init();              // Initialize the LCD

lcd_putc("\fHello World\n");
lcd_putc("Line Number 2");

while(1);
}


Code:

// flex_lcd.c

// These pins are for the Microchip PicDem2-Plus board,
// which is what I used to test the driver.  Change these
// pins to fit your own board.

// These are the pin assignments used for the "Rohs"
// PicDem2-Plus:
#define LCD_DB4   PIN_D0
#define LCD_DB5   PIN_D1
#define LCD_DB6   PIN_D2
#define LCD_DB7   PIN_D3

#define LCD_E     PIN_D6
#define LCD_RS    PIN_D4
#define LCD_RW    PIN_D5 

// If you only want a 6-pin interface to your LCD, then
// connect the R/W pin on the LCD to ground, and comment
// out the following line.

//#define USE_LCD_RW   1     

//========================================

#define lcd_type 2        // 0=5x7, 1=5x10, 2=2 lines
#define lcd_line_two 0x40 // LCD RAM address for the 2nd line


int8 const LCD_INIT_STRING[4] =
{
 0x20 | (lcd_type << 2), // Func set: 4-bit, 2 lines, 5x8 dots
 0xc,                    // Display on

Verify that you have the Rohs version.

The Rohs version looks like this. It has silver pads in the bottom of the
prototyping area on the right side of the board:
http://www.microchipdirect.com/ProductSearch.aspx?Keywords=DM163022

The non-Rohs version doesn't have that. It looks like this:
http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en010072

Next, have you tried to make it work with the 16F877A ?
(You can't use INTRC_IO with the 16F877A. It doesn't have an internal
oscillator).

Hi PCM programmer.
Thanks for the info. I managed to confirm that I'm actually using the non-rohs version!
With this I managed to make the display worked using 16F887A Smile
I will try it with 16F914 later.

Thanks for the help again.

Did you change the code to function with the 16F877 on the non Rhos board and in what way?

Use the code at the start of this thread. It's for the non-Rohs PicDem2-
Plus board:

Then read this post about how to setup the 16F914 to use normal i/o pins:
