LCD driver
PostPosted: Sat May 15, 2004 12:07 pm     Reply with quote

I'm posting this here because I spent a long time looking for a driver that worked for me, I finally found this hidden in the back pages of the forum, it worked right off the bat for me. and was originally posted by a member named chava in this thread;
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17323&highlight=picdem+2

Since I'm a beginner at this and had already spent a week trying to get my LCD to work, finding code that work for me very easily seemed like something others would find helpfull.

BTW, I'm using a PIC16F877A w/ a CrystalFontz LCD w/ aHD44780 compatible controller.


Code:
////////////////////   LCD   //////////////////////////////


// As defined in the following structure the pin connection is as follows:
//     A1  enable
//     A2  rw
//     A3  rs

//     D0  D4
//     D1  D5
//     D2  D6
//     D3  D7
//
//   LCD pins D0-D3 are not used and PIC D3 is not used.



//****************************************************************************************
#if defined(__PCH__)
   #byte lcd = 0xF83      // This puts the entire structure
#else
   #byte lcd = 8          // on to port D (at address 8)
#endif


//****************************************************************************************
#define lcd_type 2           // 0=5x7, 1=5x10, 2=2 lines
#define lcd_line_two 0x40    // LCD RAM address for the second line

BYTE const LCD_INIT_STRING[4] = {0x20 | (lcd_type << 2), 0xc, 1, 6};
                            // These bytes need to be sent to the LCD
                            // to start it up.
                     // for 2 lines lcd: {0x0a,0xc,1,6}
                     // for 5x10 lcd:   {0x06,0xc,1,6}   
                     // for 5x7 lcd:      {0x20,0xc,1,6}

                             // The following are used for setting
                             // the I/O port direction register.
