is not working with me?!
PostPosted: Sun Oct 04, 2009 8:11 am     Reply with quote
Hey
I have a problem , my LCD is not working with the flex_lcd.c driver.
I use pickit2 debug express and my pic number is 16f887A
and my lcd module is Displaytech Ltd LCD MODULE 162F BC BC.
Code:

#define LCD_DB4 PIN_B0
#define LCD_DB5 PIN_B1
#define LCD_DB6 PIN_B2
#define LCD_DB7 PIN_B3

#define LCD_E PIN_B5
#define LCD_RS PIN_B4
#define LCD_RW PIN_B6



plz hlp

#define LCD_RW PIN_B6

The Pickit2 uses pins B6 and B7 for Programming and Debugging.
Don't use those pins for the LCD. Choose another pin for LCD_RW.

thanks

I have another problem.

I think my pic is burned Crying or Very sad

coz when I turn the power supply
it was 11 volts and something
and when I build the program they said

"PKWarn0003: Unexpected device ID: Please verify that a PIC16F887 is correctly installed in the application. (Expected ID = 0x2080, ID Read = 0x0)
"

Crying or Very sad

does my pic burned? Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

Probably. Get a new PIC.

OOOOOOOOOOOH!!
nooo Crying or Very sad
I'm going crazy Shocked
this mean
I must waaaaaaaait for at least one or two weeks Sad

while(1){
   output_high(PIN_B5);
   delay_ms(1000);
   output_low(PIN_B5);


printf(lcd_putc, "Hello World.");

}


}


If I connect RW with the GND
how the connections will be?
and there is any error in my main code??

#define USE_LCD_RW 1

It says what you should do. Comment out the line above.

}

If you write to the LCD in a loop, then add \f in the printf to clear the
lcd screen before writing each time, as shown above in bold.

Hi,
there is any manual for understand all this staff and language you are talking about?
I mean for example "define LCD_DB4 PIN_B0"

Thanks

That is not a language.

define LCD_DB4 PIN_B0
means nothing...

#define (note the '#' - syntax is _everything_), is a _macro_, in the C language, saying 'when you see the following text, replace it with the next text'.

So:

#define LCD_DB4 PIN_B0

means, when the text 'LCD_DB4' is seen, replace it with 'PIN_B0'.

The 'meaning' of 'PIN_B0', is specific to CCS, and is itself 'defined' in the include file for the processor.

The LCD controller itself, has eight 'data' lines called DB0 to DB7. Look at the datas sheet. When you use 4bit mode to talk to the LCD, only the top 4 of these are used, DB4 to DB7. The defines are saying what physical pin on the PIC is connected to what pin on the LCD, assigning 'names' to these, for the LCD driver to use.

Best Wishes

Always buy 2 MCU's when experimenting. (or 3 if you're prone to burning stuff up)

Go to Borders and pick up any book on programming in C.

Personally, (more for laughs and reference) I have the original:

"The C Programming Language" from Kernighan and Ritchie.

ISBN 0-13-110362-8

Cheers,

-Ben

Wired Wrong

I know this post is dead, but, I wanted to point something out for anyone that stumbles across it.

The error: PKWarn0003: Unexpected device ID: Please verify that a PIC16F887 is correctly installed in the application. (Expected ID = 0x2080, ID Read = 0x0)

This error usually indicates that you wired the header circuit for your ICSP wrong.

It's worth a look!
