| Code to drive a serial 3-digit 7-segment |

I have a serial 7-segment display(3-digit). I've tried to use the CCS SPI
subroutine to drive the display, but i does not work.
The spec stated that the display integrated with a M5450 MOS to take a serial data. Start with "1" and follow by 35 data bit.
Anybody has any suggestion what should I do to get it to work?
Here is the display P/N: LTM8522Y
http://www.radiobox.ru/pdfa/lt/9-205.pdf
Here is my code.
| Code: |
#include <16f877.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
#include <input.c>
#define CS (PIN_B0)
#define enable output_low
#define disable output_high
void main()
{
byte value,cmd,spi;
setup_spi(SPI_MASTER | SPI_H_TO_L | SPI_CLK_DIV_16);
output_high(CS); //Enable the POT
while(true)
{
enable(CS); //Enable POT
SPI_WRITE(0X13); //Data byte
disable(CS); //Disable POT
}
} |

Unfortunately, the device _requires_ 36bits to be clocked out. Hence the SPI routnes (which send 8), cannot be used (if the required number of bits was a multiple of 8, you could use the SPI, by sending multiple bytes). This is why your example won't work (since the chip does nothing till it sees 36 bits).
If you look at the 'examples', there are a couple that use manual 'bit banging' to send data. You are going to have to do something like this, and extend it to send 36 bits. Do you want to drive the extra output pins?. If so, then the data will have to come from an array (since the largest 'type' in CCS, is only 32bits long). Otherwise you could use a int32, and just ignore the extra bits.

Very simple to do. Take a look at the 74595.C example. Your code will be very similar to that. However, you will have to stop after 36 clocks.
Original code:
| Code: | #IFNDEF EXP_OUT_ENABLE
#define EXP_OUT_ENABLE PIN_B0
#define EXP_OUT_CLOCK PIN_B1
#define EXP_OUT_DO PIN_B2
#define NUMBER_OF_74595 1
#ENDIF
void write_expanded_outputs(BYTE* eo) {
BYTE i;
output_low(EXP_OUT_CLOCK);
output_low(EXP_OUT_ENABLE);
for(i=1;i<=NUMBER_OF_74595*8;++i) { // Clock out bits from the eo array
if((*(eo+(NUMBER_OF_74595-1))&0x80)==0)
output_low(EXP_OUT_DO);
else
output_high(EXP_OUT_DO);
shift_left(eo,NUMBER_OF_74595,0);
output_high(EXP_OUT_CLOCK);
output_low(EXP_OUT_CLOCK);
}
output_high(EXP_OUT_ENABLE);
} |
Here is one modification:
| Code: | // Pass an address to an array to this function
// The data will be destroyed in the array
// Digit 1 Segment A is bit0 of the first element
void write_outputs(BYTE* eo) {
BYTE i;
output_low(EXP_OUT_CLOCK);
output_low(EXP_OUT_ENABLE);
// Output the leading '1'
output_high(EXP_OUT_DO);
output_high(EXP_OUT_CLOCK);
output_low(EXP_OUT_CLOCK);
for(i=1;i<=35;++i) { // Clock out bits from the eo array
if((*eo)&0x01)==0)
output_low(EXP_OUT_DO);
else
output_high(EXP_OUT_DO);
shift_right(eo,5,0);
output_high(EXP_OUT_CLOCK);
output_low(EXP_OUT_CLOCK);
}
output_high(EXP_OUT_ENABLE);
} |
There are lots of ways to modify the code. Some destroy the orginal data others do not. You could do bit tests on the array which would preserve the orginal data. A lot depends on what the rest of the program is doing and how you want it to function. I'll leave that up to you. |
