LCD A1,A2,A3 & data lines on d4,d5,d6,d7
PostPosted: Sat Jul 02, 2005 8:44 am     Reply with quote

Hello,

I'm using the origional PicDem - 2 (not Plus) board for prototyping. My problem is getting my 2-line, 20 character LCD to work with it. I'm using the modified LCD.c code written by Mark with the appropriate pin changes but it doesn't work. I know the device is ok because it works from the same board and chip using a PicBasic program. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Code:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//// LCDD.C ////
//// Driver for common LCD modules ////
//// ////
//// lcd_init() Must be called before any other function. ////
//// ////
//// lcd_putc(c) Will display c on the next position of the LCD. ////
//// The following have special meaning: ////
//// \f Clear display ////
//// \n Go to start of second line ////
//// \b Move back one position ////
//// ////
//// lcd_gotoxy(x,y) Set write position on LCD (upper left is 1,1) ////
//// ////
//// lcd_getc(x,y) Returns character at position x,y on LCD ////

Port A may mean open collector, thus you will need pull-up on them.
Try this and see if it helps.
