ASM and C for LCD |

I feel strange with code for Lcd
In asm, I found may persons use these codes to write char on lcd
for e.g
movlw 41 ; 'A' character
bsf lcd_rs ; RS to 1
bcf lcd_rw ; RW to 0
movwf port_b ; Put character on data lines
call pulse_e ; lcd enable line on then off
call short_delay ; 5ms for example
I almost do the same in C, like this
void WrDat2Lcd(int data)
{
output_high(lcd_rs);
output_low(lcd_rw);
output_d(data);
LcdEnable();
delay_ms(5);
}
but the lcd doesn't show anything, unless I add more code for it (and lcd run), like this
void WrDat2Lcd(int data)
{
output_low(lcd_rs); //added
output_high(lcd_rs);
output_low(lcd_rw);
output_d(data);
LcdEnable();
output_high(lcd_e); //added
delay_ms(5);
}
While wondering, I try to view .lst file
I saw these
.................... output_high(lcd_rs);
002F: BSF 03.5
0030: BCF 06.0
0031: BCF 03.5
0032: BSF 06.0
I just think that it only need one line like "bsf lcd_rs ; RS to 1"
try to replace by output_bit(lcd_rs,1) then
.................... output_bit(lcd_rs,1);
0023: BSF 06.0
0024: BSF 03.5
0025: BCF 06.0
I don't sure about 06 or 03, maybe they are stand for PORT B and PORT ?, bit 0 and bit 5 ???
But could you tell me why it need 3 to 4 commands like that ? |

The compiler inserts code to set the correct TRIS automatically.
That's what those lines are doing. That's why the compiler is
popular with students and professors. The student doesn't have
to figure out how to set the TRIS. The compiler does it.
If you want to handle the TRIS by yourself, then specify fast i/o mode,
and set the TRIS with a line of code. See the CCS manual. |

Thanks, I think they are the same now.
And here is the problem that I get at the moment, you can see it in comment part of main function void main(){...}
If you know the reason for it, please let me know, thanks so much

Please post your #include, #fuses or #use statements, and your
compiler version and the manufacturer and part number of your LCD,
and the list of hardware connections, etc. |

Hi I did it last night, don't sure the reason why but I change a little in WrDat2Lcd()
void WrDat2Lcd(int data)
{
output_low(lcd_rs); //added
output_high(lcd_rs);
output_d(data);
LcdEnable();
output_high(lcd_e); //added
output_low(lcd_rs);
delay_ms(1);
}
My LCD is of EPSON manufactor, do you think that it follows HD44780 principles of Hitachi ? |
