Add the 3 lines (in bold) above the #bit lines, as shown below:

Quote:

#byte LCDSE0 = 0x11C
#byte LCDSE1 = 0x11D
#byte LCDSE2 = 0x11E

#bit SEG0 = LCDSE0.0
#bit SEG1 = LCDSE0.1
#bit SEG16 = LCDSE2.0

special symbol on mechatronic LCD
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 7:41 pm

It works. Can you explain the following? I just want to understand see if I can put others symbols on the LCD #byte LCDSE0 = 0x11C #byte LCDSE1 = 0x11D #byte LCDSE2 = 0x11E 0x11C, etc. are these the addresses? Thanks in advance.

Yes, those are register addresses. Look in this table, in the 16F917
data sheet. You will see those addresses listed:

How to display the DP (decimal point) on the mechatronic LCD
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 10:26 pm

PCM, Thanks so much, I would like to ask you one more question, how about the DP Any suggestion?

Why don't you try to write the code for the DP's.

I can display the dp into the LCD with the "lcd_symbol(0x01, DIGIT1); " but I am out of ideal how to implement it into the void lcd_putc(char c) function.

Code:

#define enable_symbol_segments(x) SEG0 = x; SEG1 = x; SEG16 = x

void main()
{
unsigned int16 value;
unsigned int temp;

enable_symbol_segments(TRUE);

You were able to make code to display all the other symbols, as shown
below. Try to do the same thing for the 2DP, 3DP, and 4DP symbols:

Code:

// special symbols
#define display_diode(x) x ? bit_set(LCDDATA5, 0) : bit_clear(LCDDATA5, 0)
#define display_batt(x) x ? bit_set(LCDDATA3, 1) : bit_clear(LCDDATA3, 1)

You're giving lcd_putc() a sequence of ASCII numbers, one character at a
time, for example, "1.234". So clearly at some point, the lcd_putc()
routine will get the '.' character as a parameter. You need to add code to
lcd_putc() to handle it. Add an "if" (or "else if") statement for it. Make
sure you don't increment the lcd_pos variable if you are handling the
decimal point.

display 7-seg DP

Here is what I've done and it always display " 1 . " no matter what the value is:

double value;
unsigned int temp;

setup_lcd(LCD_MUX14 | LCD_BIAS_PINS, 0);
enable_symbol_segments(TRUE);

value = 12.3;

printf(lcd_putc,"\f%4f1u", value);

I also try add this in mech_seg_driver.c file(similar to the symbol) and it got error when compile

Code:

Added this to main.c file

Code:

display_s2DP(TRUE);

Here's a demo program that I did for a static lcd (i.e., non-multiplexed)
with the 16F917, that displays decimal points. I compiled it with vs. 4.119.
The program shown below displays the following output on the LCD:

Quote:

1.23

It was also tested with the decimal points in two other locations, and it
successfully displayed them:

Quote:

.123 and 12.3

This code does not use your Mechatronics board LCD. That LCD is not
available for sale by any online retail sales company that I can find.
Therefore, you will have to study this code and modify it to make it work
with your board, PIC, and LCD. I don't really want to do any more work
on this problem.

Code:

#include <16F917.H>
#fuses INTRC_IO, NOWDT, BROWNOUT, PUT
#use delay(clock=8000000)

// The LCD digits are numbered in the following way,
// according to the Varitronix VI-422-DP data sheet.
// _ _ _ _
// ^ |_| |_|:|_| |_|
// |_|.|_|.|_|.|_|
// DP4 DP3 DP2
// Digit 4 3 2 1
//
// Note: This lcd is NOT used on the Mechatronics board.

// Only digits 3,2,1 are supported for this demo program
// because the 16F917 only has 24 segment driver pins.

// Digit segments A B C D E F G
// b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1
#define DIGIT3 COM0+16, COM0+17, COM0+18, COM0+19, COM0+20, COM0+21, COM0+22
#define DIGIT2 COM0+8, COM0+9, COM0+10, COM0+11, COM0+12, COM0+13, COM0+14
#define DIGIT1 COM0+0 COM0+1, COM0+2, COM0+3, COM0+4, COM0+5, COM0+6
