Non black box LCD problem!!! (%u fails)
PostPosted: Sun Jun 24, 2007 5:14 am     Reply with quote
I'm using CCS with MPLAB 7.5 on an ICD2 programming a simple 8x2 POWERTIP LCD.

The following code works, but when I try to print using anything else than %X I get blank lines and the code fails. I have looked at timing issues, check all connections, am now wondering if there is something really strange going on.

Code that works

Code:

#include <16F648A.h>
#device   ICD=TRUE
#fuses INTRC,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4MHz)

#include <lcd.c>

void main()
{
   int value;
   lcd_init();
   delay_ms(1000);
   
   value=1;
   while (1)
   {
      printf(lcd_putc,"\fX:%X %X\n",value,value);
      printf(lcd_putc,"H: %X",value);

      delay_ms(500);
      value=value+1;
   }
}


The result of this code is

X:56 56
H: 56

and the values count up as they should.

However if I change the %X to %u I get the following

X:1 1

and nothing else.

Any ideas? Have tried both the CCS and the flex LCD drivers with the same result.

Have now tried the code on an 887 board with a 16x2 LCD mapped in an identical manner and everything works. it appears that the mapping for an 8x2 is causing an issue????

Post the part number of the PowerTip LCD. I'll look at the memory
map in the data sheet.

In this post, I test several 8x2 LCDs with the "Flex" driver and they
all work.
