| PICDEM 2 plus with new pinout for LCD |
 Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 11:59 am |

Hello,
Just got in a new PICDEM2PLUS 2006 board, in which they have upgraded to a Rohs compliant LCD. In doing so it they have changed the pinout to the LCD using only PORTD as listed below. I am trying to modify the current LCD driver to work with this new LCD. The first step i took was changing the struct overlay as follows to meet the new board requirement.
DB4 = RD0
DB5 = RD1
DB6 = RD2
DB7 = RD3
RS = RD4
RW = RD5
E = RD6
| Code: |
struct lcd_pin_map {
int data : 4;//rd0-rd3
BOOLEAN rs; //rd4
BOOLEAN rw; //rd5
BOOLEAN enable; //rd6
BOOLEAN unused; //rd7
} lcd; |
it looks like i can leave the tris pin map constants the same. After these changes the lcd will still not intialize. After looking at the asm lcd driver it looks like the setup up bytes are completely different from what they used to be. below is old and new

At this point I am not sure why there are many more configuration bytes being sent to the LCD, Is it a non-standara Hitachi LCD?? Has anyone implemented a working LCD driver for this LCD?? I guess its probably a an easy by changing and adding values to the LCD_INIT_STRING ?? Any input would be great!
Thanks |

Try this driver in the Code Library. Change the pin list at the top of the
driver to fit the new PicDem2-Plus board. This will allow you to test if
the board is working.

I used the flex friver updation to correct pins as followw, and get the same results, it appears as if it is not initializing (light bars on first line).
| Code: | #define LCD_DB4 PIN_D0
#define LCD_DB5 PIN_D1
#define LCD_DB6 PIN_D2
#define LCD_DB7 PIN_D3
#define LCD_RS PIN_D4
#define LCD_RW PIN_D5
#define LCD_E PIN_D6 |
By looking at the differences in the 2 assembly lcd init files, old to new, does it appear to you that the problem might be in the lcd init setup bytes?? |

Download the manual for the new version of the board:
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/PICDEM_2_Plus_Users_Guide_51275c.pdf
It shows that they have added a power control pin for the LCD on pin D7
of the PIC. You have to set pin D7 to a logic high level to turn on the LCD.
To implement this, create a new constant called LCD_POWER and
put it with the other LCD #define statements at the start of the driver.
Then add a statement to set the power pin to a high level at the
beginning of the lcd_init() function. Example:
| Quote: |
#define LCD_POWER PIN_D7
//----------------------------
void lcd_init(void)
{
int8 i;
output_high(LCD_POWER);
output_low(LCD_RS);
#ifdef USE_LCD_RW
output_low(LCD_RW);
#endif
output_low(LCD_E);
delay_ms(15); |

I like to do it like this:
| Code: |
struct lcd_pin_map
{
int data : 4;//rd0-rd3
BOOLEAN rs; //rd4
BOOLEAN rw; //rd5
BOOLEAN enable; //rd6
BOOLEAN power; //rd7
} lcd;
|
and access it like this:
You will also have to make sure the tris map has bit 7 as an output. |

Thanks much, that did the trick. Its been fun reading your guy's code and learning oodles from it (PCM and Mark). Here is the driver with modifications that works for the new PICDEM2 PLUS board (Rhos LCD)
Cheers and thanks again
