| Porting 20x4 LCD Code To HT1621 OEM LCD |
 Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2020 5:16 pm |

I greet all! Please I have looked for an appropriate area of this forum where I can ask this type of question but I could not locate it. Please forgive me if this is not the place for asking this. If there is such a place please do direct me there.
I have a code that I write in CCS C V5076. It is a working code that displays the result of ACIN, ACOUT, Battery, Current on 20x4 LCD. I have a HT1621 LCD I want to display on.
I am ready to submit this to Freelancer or the likes, but I decided to first of all ask If there is a way I can get someone do it here for me here which I can pay for?
Please I have 16F886 Simulation Board which currently runs my code. If other things like schematic etc, are needed I can supply them here.
| Code: | #include <16F886.h>
#device ADC = 10
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,MCLR,NOPROTECT
#use delay(clock = 8000000)
//#use rs232(baud = 9600,xmit=PIN_C6,DISABLE_INTS,ERRORS)
#include <Flex_LCD420.c>
#define HAPPY PIN_C0
#define ANGRY PIN_C1
#define VDD 5.0
#define R 0.5

long MS2; // Mains Sensor2

void init()
{
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8);
setup_adc_ports( sAN0 | sAN1 |sAN2 | sAN3 | VSS_VDD); // Select Analog Inputs
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
delay_ms(10);
}
void main()
{
init(); // Configure peripherals/hardware
lcd_init(); // Initialize LCD module
printf(lcd_putc,"\f"); // clear the LCD
delay_ms(250);
while(TRUE)
{

}
else
{

}
{
{

}

If I type HT1621 into image search on the net, all I see are segmented
displays by Holtek. But you clearly show a graphic display in your links.
Who is the manufacturer of your display ? |

I think there is a significant 'misunderstanding' going on from the original
poster.
The problem is that this controller is described as a 32x4 controller, and
he therefore thinks that this supports multiple lines of text. It doesn't.
The '32' here is the number of segment drive outputs available. The '4' is
the number of common lines. So the controller is capable of driving a
maximum of 128 LCD segments. The commonest wiring is as a 6 digit
text LCD, with a couple of extra symbols implemented.
The interface can be driven using the CCS 'software' SPI, setting up two
streams, one using the WR pin as it's clock and the data pin for the output
data, the other using the RD pin for it's clock and the same data pin as
an input. You have to manually override the TRIS when switching from
read to write (and vice versa). One other CS line is needed.
You have to drive the display just like you would a 7 segment LED, with
your code knowing which segments to turn on for the values you want to
display. The data memory is organised as 32*4, and the read and write
instructions access this 'nibble by nibble'. So you send a write command
followed by the 6bit 'nibble address', then the 4 bits to write to this nibble.
To read you do the same, send a read command, then 6 bit nibble address,
then switch to the read stream (and turn off the TRIS), and clock back the
4 bit nibble.
Yes, this can be driven by the PIC, but not by the 20x4 LCD code. There
is zero compatibility between this display and this code. |

Please I want to make it clear that the code I posted is only for 2004 LCD display which I referred to as "a working code'. It the another code that can drive the TR2020A LCD module that I need.
Shenzhen Tianruixan Electronics China.
I have their own datasheet for the LCD Module. In fact I will now share all the files I have for it now
This link is a rar file that contains both the datasheet, schematic etc
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18MiuaMUSvlLDDAQgdtp63GjX5aRqZXdf/view?usp=drivesdk
Thanks.

You lack an absolutely _critical_ piece of data. Which segment of the
display connects to which segment output on the controller. Without this
you would have to experiment and drive each output in turn and make up
your own map to how the display actually works.
There will be a total of 56 segments connected to the 7 segment digits,
then probably two more for the leading '1', then ones for the 'V' and %
signs, then probably a single one for the frame round 'LOAD', five more
for the bars in this, then one for the battery frame, and three more for the
bars in this. The face will probably have one for the face itself, and two
separate ones for the lips. Single ones for the Input and output tabs,
but again there may be separate ones for the symbols inside.
Problem is though that you can't just go and test what segment does
what, without also knowing what bias and duty the LCD requires.
Also what clock rate.
You also give a circuit for the 4*20 display, but not the 4020.
Who is actually selling the module you have?. They must have data
showing what segment drives which part of the display, and probably
the specifications of the LCD. |

Possible solution...
Find a 'driver' for the HT1621 (hint Ardunio HT1631).
Although this is for a 7 segment,4 digit display it will show how to interface the PIC to the HT1621. You'll have to create your own 'database' array of which bits of what elements of this array to control the actual LCD 'icons'.
You need to translate the Ardunio C into CCS C, then create the array of LCD icon 'database'. essentially this is a translation table.
The good news is you KNOW which bits control which icons. This will take some time, so a pencil and paper will really help !!! |

Driving the controller is quite easy. I'll post a bit of some code I used
latter.
However the sheet you have does not show how the sements are connected.
It shows segment 'numbers' for the extra stuff, but not which segments
on the controller these connect to, or the segment numbers for the digits.
So, looks as if you are going to have to work these out for yourself.
However we still have the problem of no data on the drive requirements
for the LCD (1/3 or 1/4 drive in particular). |

OK. This is part of a driver I did a while ago to drive this controller. I've
modified for your chip, and added pin definitions, which you will have to
change as you wire the display.

#use SPI(CLK=LCDRD, DI=LCDDAT, baud=150000, mode=0, stream=LCDRX) //streams for the LCD
//first command ID's
#define READ_DATA 6
#define WRITE_DATA 5
#define RMW_DATA 5
#define SYS 4
//then codes for SYS commands
#define DISABLE 0

Thanks Ttelmah, I will what I can do with this when I am at home.

Ideally, you want to do something like enable the serial as well, and have
a program that then steps through the segments and allows you to record
which segment actually does what. Hopefully the 1/2 bias is right otherwise
you need to try the 1/3 setting BIAS134. It's going to need all 4 commons,
given the sheer number of segments actually involved. |

Did you change these pin numbers ?

The pin numbers need to be as shown below. These match your schematic:

#define LCDCS PIN_C3
#define LCDWR PIN_C4
#define LCDDAT PIN_C5
// #define LCDRD // Not used on schematic

Your schematic doesn't have LCDRD connected to the PIC. It's not even
on your connector. Your connector is only 5 pins.
But Ttelmah's code depends upon reading data from the lcd and
modifying a bit, and then writing it back. He reads 4 bits into the
variable 'temp_nib'. Then he sets or clears a bit in it. Then he
writes it back to the lcd. Your schematic doesn't permit this.
