Hi friends,
How i can use in SPI mode the LCD EADIP204-6?
http://www.trash.net/~luethi/microchip/datasheets/lcd/EA-DIP204-6_KS0073.pdf
I have huge difficulties..... Sad
there are examples in net? (my project use pic 18f458)

Bye...thanks

no help?
in practice it would be necessary to drive the KS0073 in SPI mode, my approach is as in the datasheet but I am not able to show no character..... Sad

The data sheet is completely minimal. There is no timing
information shown for the SPI interface. The company
must provide more information, in order to write a driver.
Search their website or contact them.

PCM, inside the link is a link towards the bottom, which points to the samsung chip that is used. Timing is included.
((but I don't want to end up writting another LCD driver )) Very Happy

Pls could you post the code you had been trying ?

I am out office,
but this link http://www.electronic-engineering.ch/microchip/datasheets/lcd/ks0073.pdf
pag.50-51-52, show the timing diagram and data transfer.

To use it in serial mode, the IM (Interface Mode) port pin should be set to Low at power up.
The KS0073 is initialized automatically, while doing so, it keep High the BF (Busy Flag) pin.
I don't see this caution in your code before to start sending any command.
It needs at least 20ms after power up.

I have soldering correctly the pad for SPI mode, so the problem is not this.
you say to check Busy flag with SPI_read()?
let me a example.

Thanks

I didn't say to do it with SPI. I mean that if you do not test this bit, at least
you should give the KS0073 enough time to end its power up.

looking at the Datasheet of the Ks0073, one sees that the first bit transmitted is the LSB.........the problem will certainly be this.
what the Interrupts are of the SSP (in SPI mode)?

Ok, now it works, but there is a problem in reading ....
in spi_read() the SCK (PIN_C3) is inactive, why?
PIC works in this mode: (SPI_MASTER|SPI_H_TO_L|SPI_CLK_DIV_16)

Read the CCS manual in the section on spi_read(). It says:
If a value is passed to SPI_READ the data (ie., the value) will be
clocked out and the data received will be returned. If there is no
data to send just do a SPI_READ(0) to get the clock.

CCS manual:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/ccscmanual.zip

Also the CCS example file, 9356spi.c, shows an example.
It's in this folder: c:\Program Files\Picc\Examples

It is perhaps worth 'adding' the PCM Programmers comments, to explain 'wy' the command begaes as it does.
SPI is a two directional bus. Data is sent both ways at the same time, and you cannot actually perform a standalone 'read' without sending a byte, even if it is a 'dummy'. Whenever you do an SPI_WRITE, a byte is simultaneously received, and if you call 'SPI_READ', without a value to send, it simply returns the byte that was read in the last transfer. So if you go:
SPI_WRITE(val);
result=SPI_READ();

Clocks are generated for the 'write', and the byte transfered during this write, is then returned by the read, with no clocks generated.
SPI_READ, also contains a 'shortcut' to this,and if you perform:
result=SPI_READ(val);

It performs the same operation, as the two seperate instructions, in one command.

Best Wishes
