serial LCD ----16f877--
PostPosted: Tue Mar 02, 2004 6:23 pm     Reply with quote
Hi,

has anybody got some sample code for writing to serial LCD from a 16F877.

i've used the search function and could only find code for parallel LCD's

i choose the serial LCD as i persummed that it would be easier to program.

i'd apprecaits if you could include the whole code. (preprocess, defintions, main , functions etc.)

thanks in advance.

Serial LCD Code

This is not the only resource on the web. I went on Google and in 20 seconds searched for "CCS Serial LCD" and found lots of hits:

Go here and put a little effort into it:

http://www.phanderson.com/PIC/PICC/CCS_PCM/lcd_f84.html

To find more stuff try the same thing I did ...

To find out the control code format you will have to read the data sheet for the specific LCD to know exactly what sequence you neeed to send.

Code:


// lcd-optrex-dmc50747.h

// CCS PIC C driver functions for the Optrex DMC50747 LCD unit,
// which uses the Seiko SED1200 series controller SED1233DGB.

// the SED1233DGB is a 3.3v, 16 char x 2 line LCD controller;
// it can operate with a 2 wire serial or 4b/8b parallel interface.
// this driver is designed for the 2 wire serial interface.

// notes:
// * DMC-50747NF-AK is available from Digi-Key as PN 73-1177-ND.
// * read and understand the datasheets before modifying this code.
// * the DMC50747 requires a bipolar power supply to bias the LCD
//   contrast.  for low cost designs, the -12V charge pump found on
//   RS232 level converters can provide a suitable negative rail. 
//   use a diode and capacitive filtering to isolate switching noise,
//   and a potentiometer to adjust the negative bias voltage.

usage:

in main()

Code:

   lcd_preinit();
   lcd_init();


there is a reason that these two inits are separate, and it has to do with how you want the display to come out of power down mode. if you want to reset the contents of the display, you can combine these two functions. otherwise, you can keep them separate, wake the display up using just lcd_init(), and at that point the display will show the exact contents that it went to sleep with. lcd_preinit() needs to be run at LCD cold start only.

as configured above, the controller has line wrap enabled, and so knowing the geometry of the display you can do things like this:
Code:

printf(lcd_putc,"> Low Battery! <>  1 x CR123A  <");

which leads to a 2x16 format display of
Code:

> Low Battery! <
>  1 x CR123A  <


also, you can explicitly control Y-axis positioning as such
Code:

lcd_setcursor(LCDLINE1);
buffer_fill_A(somedata);
printf(lcd_putc,buffer);
lcd_setcursor(LCDLINE2);
buffer_fill_B(somedata);
printf(lcd_putc,buffer);


there is no provision in the driver above to control X positioning. i leave that as an exercise to the reader but it would be nice to get the code back. open source you, open source me.
