Hello,

I need 2*16 flexible lcd driver with custom char.

Thanks...

Here's an example of using custom LCD characters with the flex lcd driver:
Code:

#include <16F877.H>
#fuses XT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)

#include "flex_lcd.c"

#define UP_ARROW   0
#define DOWN_ARROW 1
#define DEGREES    2

void lcd_load_custom_chars(void);

//==========================
void main()
{
int8 temperature;

lcd_init();
lcd_load_custom_chars(); 

temperature = 72;    // In degrees Fahrenheit

// Octal numbers 000 to 007 must be used with the "escape"
// backslash to display a custom char with printf.
// The line below displays the degrees symbol with \002.
// The "F" is for Fahrenheit. The "%3d" displays the
// temperature. The \f clears the LCD before displaying
// anything.

// Display temperature on top line of LCD.   
printf(lcd_putc, "\f    %3d \002F \n", temperature);

// Display up/down arrows on right side of LCD.
lcd_gotoxy(16,1);  // Go to last position on top row
lcd_putc(UP_ARROW);
lcd_gotoxy(16,2);  // Go to last position on bottom row
lcd_putc(DOWN_ARROW);
   
while(1);
}
//=============================================
// Functions

// This table holds the data for the LCD custom chars.
// Only 3 chars were created below.  The 5 other blank
// chars can be edited to create more custom chars.

const int8 lcd_custom_chars[] =
{

Thanks,

I've solved otherwise before your reply.

This code for Turkish characters

Code:



// flex_lcd.c

// These pins are for the Microchip PicDem2-Plus board,
// which is what I used to test the driver.  Change these
// pins to fit your own board.

#define LCD_DB4   PIN_C6
#define LCD_DB5   PIN_C3
#define LCD_DB6   PIN_C4
#define LCD_DB7   PIN_C5

#define LCD_E     PIN_C7
#define LCD_RS    PIN_B7
#define LCD_RW    PIN_A3

// If you only want a 6-pin interface to your LCD, then
// connect the R/W pin on the LCD to ground, and comment
// out the following line.

#define USE_LCD_RW   1     

//========================================

#define lcd_type 2        // 0=5x7, 1=5x10, 2=2 lines

I cannot get the the UP_ARROW to display with printf when \000 is used. \001 and \002 work fine. Does anybody understand why this is?

Obviously \000 can't work in a string, because it's the string terminator. Usually a printable character is used
instead and replaced with \000 in the printer driver, as shown above.
