LCD 40x4 driver
PostPosted: Sun Sep 16, 2007 3:48 pm     Reply with quote

This driver is for use with 40x4 LCDs. It's based in flex_lcd420 by PCM programmer.

Proteus simulation.





driver source code

Code:

//lcd_40x4_h.c by huichoman
//Modificación flex_LCD420.c
//JOSE LUIS SANTIAGO MORALES --Huichoman--
//Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, México

// These pins are for my Microchip PicDem2-Plus board,
// which I used to test this driver.
// An external 20x4 LCD is connected to these pins.
// Change these pins to match your own board's connections.

#define LCD_DB4   PIN_B4
#define LCD_DB5   PIN_B5
#define LCD_DB6   PIN_B6
#define LCD_DB7   PIN_B7

#define LCD_RS    PIN_B0
#define LCD_RW    PIN_B1
#define LCD_E1    PIN_B2
#define LCD_E2    PIN_B3
/*
// To prove that the driver can be used with random
// pins, I also tested it with these pins:
#define LCD_DB4   PIN_D4
#define LCD_DB5   PIN_B1
#define LCD_DB6   PIN_C5
#define LCD_DB7   PIN_B5

#define LCD_RS    PIN_E2
#define LCD_RW    PIN_B2
#define LCD_E1     PIN_D6
*/

// If you want only a 6-pin interface to your LCD, then
// connect the R/W pin on the LCD to ground, and comment
// out the following line.  Doing so will save one PIC
// pin, but at the cost of losing the ability to read from
// the LCD.  It also makes the write time a little longer
// because a static delay must be used, instead of polling
// the LCD's busy bit.  Normally a 6-pin interface is only
// used if you are running out of PIC pins, and you need
// to use as few as possible for the LCD.
#define USE_RW_PIN   1     


// These are the line addresses for most 4x20 LCDs.
#define LCD_LINE_1_ADDRESS 0x00
#define LCD_LINE_2_ADDRESS 0x40
#define LCD_LINE_3_ADDRESS 0x00
#define LCD_LINE_4_ADDRESS 0x40

// These are the line addresses for LCD's which use
// the Hitachi HD66712U controller chip.
/*

Code 40x4 LCD CODE
PostPosted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 1:27 am     Reply with quote

First Correct these lines
Code:

//TEST 1
           //---------------------------------
           lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
           printf(lcd_putc1,"LINEA 1 LCD1");
           delay_ms(1500);
           lcd_gotoxy(1,2);
           printf(lcd_putc1,"LINEA 2 LCD1");
           delay_ms(1500);
           lcd_gotoxy(1,3);
           printf(lcd_putc2,"LINEA 1 LCD2");
           delay_ms(1500);
           lcd_gotoxy(1,4);
           printf(lcd_putc2,"LINEA 2 LCD2");
           delay_ms(1500);

         //-------------------------

and Change the LCD Module in Proteus

LC4857

It works properly.
