There's more information on the Seiko L2432 LCD in this manual:
http://www.iweil.com/devices/lcd%20drivers/seiko%20manual.pdf
It shows that the controller is compatible and that the address of
line 2 is 0x40. This means it should work OK with the flex_lcd.c
driver that's posted at the beginning of this thread. |

OK
it works. I try with 16x2 (LM16L) and 24x2 (L2432).
Thanks |

| Extenal Interrupt vs LCD |
| Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 6:12 pm |

Hi, Im using a 18F252,16x2 line LCD and my compiler version is 3.170 (very old). I want to use the external interrupt pin (PIN_B0) on this PIC.
With the normal LCD.c driver this is not possible even when I changed the pins as follows:
| Code: |
struct lcd_pin_map { // This structure is overlayed
BOOLEAN unused; // on to an I/O port to gain
BOOLEAN enable; // access to the LCD pins.
BOOLEAN unuse; // The bits are allocated from
BOOLEAN rs; // low order up. ENABLE will
int data : 4; // be pin B0.
} lcd;
|
I also tried the flex_lcd.c driver, but this also did not work for me. It is as if the LCD driver (both) still takes control over the RB_0 PIN of the PIC.
The code for the external interrupt works, I've tested it with a blinking LED and without the LCD and LCD code.
I want to use:
PIN_B1 -> Enable
PIN_B3 -> RS
PIN_B4 - PIN_B7 -> Data
R/W is connected to ground.
I've also tested the LCD on its own, and it also works fine with the normal LCD.c driver. Even with enable on PIN_B1. But the external interrupt PIN_B0 does not function correctly.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| You have to make sure that you setup the external interrupt as well as make sure the tris is set correctly. |

Start a new thread in the main forum and post a small but complete
test program that shows the problem. |

how to verify whether the LCD is damaged or not?
LCD 2x16
currently doing LCD display with DS1307 and EEPROM 24AA512(ignore eeprom parts)
I not manage to get thing display on my LCD. I suspect my LCD is damaged.
here is my code

That's not my driver. This thread is supposed to be only about
questions on my driver.
Please start a new thread in the main forum and ask your question there.
Here's a link to the main CCS forum:

hi pcm
i wonder if i can use PIN A4 and PIN A5 as independent input or output
i try but it not work independently
thank you |

You didn't post the PIC that you're using. When you have a hardware-
specific question, you should post the PIC type.
On many PICs, the pin driver for Pin A4 is "open drain". It doesn't have
the ability to drive the pin to a high level. It can only drive it to a low
level. If you set the pin to be at a high level with the output_high()
function, the output will be "floating". You can fix this by adding an
external pull-up resistor to the pin. You can use 4.7K.
On some PICs, pin A5 is an "input only" pin. It doesn't have the
ability to drive the output in any way. So it can't be used with the
Flex LCD driver. |

Dear sir, can you explain the following code in LCD.C
"void lcd_init(void)
{
int8 i;
output_low(LCD_RS);
#ifdef USE_LCD_RW
output_low(LCD_RW);
#endif
output_low(LCD_E);
delay_ms(15);
for(i=0 ;i < 3; i++)
{
lcd_send_nibble(0x03);
delay_ms(5);
}
lcd_send_nibble(0x02);
for(i=0; i < sizeof(LCD_INIT_STRING); i++)
{
lcd_send_byte(0, LCD_INIT_STRING[i]);
// If the R/W signal is not used, then
// the busy bit can't be polled. One of
// the init commands takes longer than
// the hard-coded delay of 60 us, so in
// that case, lets just do a 5 ms delay
// after all four of them.
#ifndef USE_LCD_RW
delay_ms(5);
#endif
}
}
"
i do not understand the meaning of "for(i=0 ;i < 3; i++)
{
lcd_send_nibble(0x03);
delay_ms(5);
}
lcd_send_nibble(0x02);
for(i=0; i < sizeof(LCD_INIT_STRING); i++)
{
lcd_send_byte(0, LCD_INIT_STRING[i]);
"
why we need to set those parameters for LCD initialization?
please explain the purpose for me
I do thank you for your reply.

| sorry for my question |

for my question shown above:
Could u just explain the meaning of the code :for(i=0 ;i < 3; i++)
{
lcd_send_nibble(0x03);
delay_ms(5);
}
lcd_send_nibble(0x02);
......................................#
what's the purpose of first "for(i=0 ;i < 3; i++)" and the code of "lcd_send_nibble(0x02); "
thanks a lot and sorry about my previous problem

Could you give an example for 4 bit LCD by using flexlcd driver and pic18f2520 for hd44780 16x2 LCD which will write to screen just "hello". The pin congiguration have to be as follows.
LCD PIC
D7 -- RB7
D6 -- RB6
D5 -- RB5
D4 -- RB4
E -- RB3
RS -- RB2
RW is grounded. PIC's RB0 and RB1 is used for another aim. crystal oscillator is 20 MHZ.
what kind of configuration i have to make in driver.
thanks. |

At the start of the Flex_LCD.c file, edit the pin list so it looks like this:
| Code: | #define LCD_DB4 PIN_B4
#define LCD_DB5 PIN_B5
#define LCD_DB6 PIN_B6
#define LCD_DB7 PIN_B7
#define LCD_E PIN_B3
#define LCD_RS PIN_B2
|
Because you have the R/W pin on the LCD connected to ground, you
need to comment out the following line in the Flex_LCD.c file, as shown:
| Code: | | //#define USE_RW_PIN 1 |
Here is a demo program to display "Hello World" on the LCD:
| Code: |
#include <18F2520.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,BROWNOUT,PUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#include "Flex_LCD.c"
//=======================
void main()
{
lcd_init();
lcd_putc("Hello World");
while(1);
} |
