Hello all PIC masters !
After a few months of learning and educated by all of you PIC masters out there on how to program and use various type of PICs, I feel pretty comfortable to learn on a few more challenging functions, that is, how to interface with the Graphic LCD display. Please advise me on the followings
a) What are the most popular type of Graphic LCDs that are used with the PIC 16F877A or 18F458 family
b) where can I obtain any drivers or example of C programs to support this device. The flexible LCD driver that PCM Programmer has modified and posted for use in the forum is excellent, I was able to change a few parameters and get the LCD up and running in no time regardless of the wiring configuration is
I am using CCS Compiler for my PIC programming
Your advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much
Regards,
GSFC PIC |

Go to the website of a company that sells LCDs online, such as this one:
http://www.crystalfontz.com/
As you can see, the most common type is 128x64 resolution.
Also look at manufacturer's websites, such as these:
http://www.hantronix.com/2_1.html
http://www.powertipusa.com/

CCS has a driver file for 128x64 graphic LCDs. It's called GLCD.C
and it's in this folder: c:\Program Files\Picc\Drivers
There is some other driver code in the Code Library.
