How do one configure this for a 4x 20 lcd screen with the same driver?

I am very much thankful to you Very Happy

And I have a small problem with the display Confused flickering is on the screen. It is something like scrolling effect... same as CRT interlacing.

What I have to modify to the code to get a clear display?

I think that a flickering effect like that can result from very rapid updates to the display. Either add in some kind of a delay, or else have a timer-triggered flag to enable an update, perhaps every 100-200mS.


Nifty bar graph...I didn't even see this thread.
I wound up digging up something on an old blog post, and made my own addition to LCD.c. I also tied the graph levels right to ASCII codes 0-7, so printf(lcd_putc,"%c",5); would result in printing a block with 6 rows filled in.
And of course you can program in something to check for a value greater than 7, decrement the value by 8, move to row 1, and print the new value. Badda-bing, you've got a 16-row bar, albeit with a small gap above the first 8 rows.

yea

I thought the same. I mean increasing the delay (LCD refresh rate).

Thanks for your reply.

When I decrease the refresh rate then the interactive bar graph is struggling to display the sudden changes happening.

Anyway thanks Cool

Here is one from my site, works with the eadog driver, but you can tweek it to work with most any lcd that has custom chr's.

First call: gBarGraphIni(); to program the custom chr's.

Then call the graph function with a pos, max. This is what POS in MAX
so 50,100 would be half way, same as 256, 512.

gBarGraph(row,pos,max);

If you need a graph that does not span the entire row, then use the advanced one. WIDTH is the chr's positions wide.

gAdvBarGraph(row,col,width,pos,max)

Code:

// note: this calls the functions in the EA-DOGM driver

// sets up the programmable chr's for use as a bar graph
//uses custom chrs 1 to 5
void gBarGraphIni(void)
{
   int i;
   for (i=0; i<8; i++) { eaDogM_WriteByteToCGRAM(0b00001000 + i,0b0010000); }
   for (i=0; i<8; i++) { eaDogM_WriteByteToCGRAM(0b00010000 + i,0b0011000); }
   for (i=0; i<8; i++) { eaDogM_WriteByteToCGRAM(0b00011000 + i,0b0011100); }
   for (i=0; i<8; i++) { eaDogM_WriteByteToCGRAM(0b00100000 + i,0b0011110); }
   for (i=0; i<8; i++) { eaDogM_WriteByteToCGRAM(0b00101000 + i,0b0011111); }
}

void gBarGraph(char row, unsigned int16 pos, unsigned int16 max)
{
   int8 i,m,r;
   int32 n;

   eaDogM_SetPos(row,0);
   n = ( (pos * 80) / max );
   m = n / 5; // i love integer math, 6/5 = 1 not 1.2 :)
   r = n - (m * 5); // get the remainder
   for (i=0; i<m; i++) { eaDogM_WriteChr(5); } // block chr
   eaDogM_WriteChr(r);
   for (i=(m+1); i<16; i++) { eaDogM_WriteChr(0x20); } // end spaces
}

void gAdvBarGraph(char row, char col, char width, unsigned int16 pos, unsigned int16 max)
{
   int8 i,m,r;
   int32 n;

   eaDogM_SetPos(row,col);
   n = ( (pos * (width*5)) / max );
   m = n / 5; // i love integer math, 6/5 = 1 not 1.2 :)
   r = n - (m * 5); // get the remainder
   for (i=0; i<m; i++) { eaDogM_WriteChr(5); } // block chr
   eaDogM_WriteChr(r);
   for (i=(m+1); i<width; i++) { eaDogM_WriteChr(0x20); } // end spaces
}

Hello. At first, thank you so much by informations. Is it possible use this bargraph code with LCD 20x4 ? (Note: I use FLEXLCD library) Thank you again.
