problem init_lcd 16x2

Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2011 7:04 am

These problems. I used pic 16F877A and LCD 16x2. When compile my prog is good in simulation (isis professional), but when I realisation in real white circuit, lcd is not working (there are the box in first line)..§§§§§
This is my code:

Code:

#include <16F877A.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)

struct lcd_pin_map { // This structure is overlayed
BOOLEAN enable; // on to an I/O port to gain
BOOLEAN rs; // access to the LCD pins.
BOOLEAN rw; // The bits are allocated from
BOOLEAN unused; // low order up. ENABLE will
int data : 4; // be pin B0.
} lcd;

#ifdef __pch__
#locate lcd = 0xf83
#else
#locate lcd = 8
#endif
#define set_tris_lcd(x) set_tris_d(x)

#define lcd_type 2
#define lcd_line_two 0x40

BYTE const LCD_INIT_STRING[6] = {0x20 | (lcd_type << 2),0xc, 1, 6};

struct lcd_pin_map const LCD_WRITE = {0,0,0,0,0};
struct lcd_pin_map const LCD_READ = {0,0,0,0,15};

BYTE lcd_read_byte() {
BYTE low,high;
set_tris_lcd(LCD_READ);
lcd.rw = 1;
delay_cycles(1);
lcd.enable = 1;
delay_cycles(1);
high = lcd.data;
lcd.enable = 0;
delay_cycles(1);
lcd.enable = 1;
delay_us(1);
low = lcd.data;
lcd.enable = 0;
set_tris_lcd(LCD_WRITE);
return( (high<<4) | low);
}

void lcd_send_nibble( BYTE n ) {
lcd.data = n;
delay_cycles(1);
lcd.enable = 1;
delay_us(2);
lcd.enable = 0;
}

void lcd_send_byte( BYTE address, BYTE n ) {

lcd.rs = 0;
while ( bit_test(lcd_read_byte(),7) ) ;
lcd.rs = address;
delay_cycles(1);
lcd.rw = 0;
delay_cycles(1);
lcd.enable = 0;
lcd_send_nibble(n >> 4);
lcd_send_nibble(n & 0xf);
}

void lcd_init() {
BYTE i;
set_tris_lcd(LCD_WRITE);
lcd.rs = 0;
lcd.rw = 0;
lcd.enable = 0;
delay_ms(15);
for(i=1;i<=3;++i) {
lcd_send_nibble(3);
delay_ms(5);
}
lcd_send_nibble(2);
for(i=0;i<=3;++i)
lcd_send_byte(0,LCD_INIT_STRING[i]);
}

void lcd_gotoxy( BYTE x, BYTE y) {
BYTE address;

if(y!=1)
address=lcd_line_two;
else
address=0;
address+=x-1;
lcd_send_byte(0,0x80|address);
}

void lcd_putc( char c) {
switch (c) {
case '\f' : lcd_send_byte(0,1);
delay_ms(2);
break;
case '\n' : lcd_gotoxy(1,2); break;
case '\b' : lcd_send_byte(0,0x10); break;
default : lcd_send_byte(1,c); break;
}
}

char lcd_getc( BYTE x, BYTE y) {
char value;

lcd_gotoxy(x,y);
while ( bit_test(lcd_read_byte(),7) );
lcd.rs=1;
value = lcd_read_byte();
lcd.rs=0;
return(value);
}
void main()
{
lcd_init();
lcd_putc("\fTesting seif");
}

Problem is not from code. I think the problem is that you must add a resistor to the VEE pin in the lcd (contrast pin) connected to VSS. Test it and it will work.

The problem came from your program, try this

Code:

#include <16F877A.H>
#fuses XT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock = 4000000)

#include "flex_lcd.c"

//==========================
void main()
{
lcd_init();

lcd_putc("\fTesting seif");

while(1);
}

use the LCD driver "flex_lcd.c" instead of "lcd.c"

Code:

// flex_lcd.c

#define LCD_DB4 PIN_D4
#define LCD_DB5 PIN_D5
#define LCD_DB6 PIN_D6
#define LCD_DB7 PIN_D7

#define LCD_E PIN_D0
#define LCD_RS PIN_D1
#define LCD_RW PIN_D2

// 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
#define lcd_line_two 0x40 // LCD RAM address for the 2nd line

int8 const LCD_INIT_STRING[4] =
{
0x20 | (lcd_type << 2), // Func set: 4-bit, 2 lines, 5x8 dots
0xc, // Display on
1, // Clear display
6 // Increment cursor
};

//-------------------------------------

// to a boolean (1 or 0).

}

//-----------------------------------
