| Problem with lcd and 18f2550 |

I'm going to crazy! Please help me guys!
I have an 1602 lcd connected to 18f2550 pic with this pinout:
pic is connect to 20mhz crystal
test di fr3nsis, su Flickr
gnd
5v
vo to 10k trimmer
rs to Ra5
r/w to gnd
e to Ra4 (that have 10k pull up resistor)
db0-1-2-3 to gnd
db4 to ra3
db5 to ra2
db6 to ra1
db7 to ra0
Without lcd code board work fine, with it stop to work.
I try also to connect e and rs ro portb but no luck.
This is my code using flex_lcd.c:
| Code: |
void main()
{
setup_timer_1 ( T1_DISABLED );
setup_vref(FALSE);
SETUP_SPI(SPI_DISABLED);
SETUP_ADC(ADC_OFF);
SETUP_ADC_PORTS(NO_ANALOGS);
setup_ccp1 (CCP_OFF);
setup_ccp2 (CCP_OFF);
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
lcd_init();
lcd_putc("\fCREDITI INSUFF.");
while(TRUE)
{
output_high(PIN_C1);
delay_ms(2000);
output_low(PIN_C1);
delay_ms(2000);
}
} |
| 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.
#define LCD_DB4 PIN_a3
#define LCD_DB5 PIN_a2
#define LCD_DB6 PIN_a1
#define LCD_DB7 PIN_a0
#define LCD_E PIN_a4
#define LCD_RS PIN_a5
#define LCD_RW PIN_A2
// 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
.........
|
| Code: | #include <18LF2550.h>
#device adc=16
#fuses HSPLL,NOMCLR,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NODEBUG,USBDIV,PLL5,CPUDIV1,VREGEN,NOPBADEN
#use delay(crystal=48000000) |

Have you read what this says?....
| Code: |
// 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
|
Note the change.

Rw is connected to ground so must be
#define USE_LCD_RW 1
or i'm wrong? |

You are wrong. Read what it says...
You must _comment out the following line_.
Unless the line is commented out, the code tries to use R/W, and since it is not connected, it'll wait forever.

Note that the LCD's are funny creatures and you may need to play with the "init" a bit. Usually, you need a delay before init (after coming out of reset) then you need a delay after init before you can send data to it or it simply ignores you. Check the spec sheet for your display for the delay times (I have also found that sometimes the needed delay is even longer than specified for surplus parts).

Connecting e and rs to portb led blinks but no char on lcd.
Connecting e and rs to porta like before led wont blink.
I don't understand why...
I have also added 5 seconds before and after lcd_init.

hmmm...LCD db0...3 are grounded ?(in original post).
I've always just let them 'float'(ie: no connection).
I know the flex_lcd driver works.....
...squares on LCD is a good sign..
Maybe post your current version of program, maybe 'something' got edited by mistake.

You are not disabling Timer0, so RA4 will be the timer0 clock input (this is the default on power on). You don't need a pull up on RA4, on this chip the pin can pull up as well as down.
The clock statement should really say _clock=48000000_, not crystal. Your crystal is (hopefully) 20Mhz.
Are you sure you have got the DB4 to DB7 lines reversed as you show?.
Where did you get the define 'SPI_DISABLED' from?. It is not a standard one for the compiler. The normal syntax is:
setup_spi(FALSE);
If you have re-labelled the SPI_SS_DISABLED define, this turns the SPI _on_.....

here is my code:
| Code: |
#include <18F2550.h>
#device adc=10
#FUSES NOWDT,HS,NOPROTECT,NOBROWNOUT,PUT,NOCPD,STVREN,NODEBUG,NOLVP
#FUSES NOWRT,NOWRTD,IESO,FCMEN,PBADEN,NOWRTC,NOWRTB,NOEBTR,NOEBTRB,NOCPB,MCLR
#USE delay(clock=20000000)
#USE rtos(timer=0,minor_cycle=1ms)
#USE fast_io(b)
#INCLUDE <flex_lcd.c>
#INCLUDE <string.h>
void main()
{
setup_spi(FALSE);
setup_adc_ports(AN0|VSS_VDD);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL);
setup_spi(FALSE);
setup_wdt(WDT_OFF);
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
setup_vref(FALSE);
delay_ms(10000);
lcd_init();
set_tris_b(0xF0);
delay_ms(10000);
} |

I have just found the solution.
I had conect lcd to pins RC4 and RC5.
I read in another post that can´t be used as outputs or something like that, so I tried to change them to ports RC0 and RC1 and now works ok!!
delays before and after init of LCD was not the problem, it works correctly with a delay of 100 ms.
hope your answer. |
