| 16x2 LCD Driver For Mikroelektronika EasyPic 4 Dev Board |
 Posted: Sun Oct 29, 2006 6:49 pm |
 |
|
The driver was modified because in the Mikroelektronika EasyPic4 Board the LCD R/W is permanently wired to Gnd.
The original LCD.C driver uses the R/W pin to communicate.
Hope this is useful :
| Code: | ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//// LCD_mE_EP4.C ////
//// Driver for common LCD modules ////
//// ////
//// lcd_init() Must be called before any other function. ////
//// ////
//// lcd_putc(c) Will display c on the next position of the LCD. ////
//// The following have special meaning: ////
//// \f Clear display ////
//// \n Go to start of second line ////
//// \b Move back one position ////
//// ////
//// lcd_gotoxy(x,y) Set write position on LCD (upper left is 1,1) ////
//// ////

I have an mE EP3 board, I was on the same path in changing the LCD.c of CCS, but I was missing somthing??? I seen your code, compared notes, uncommitted port-b for my board and volia. This to me also confirmed that a KS0066 display driver is the same as an HD44780. Once again THANKS
I have the GLCD working with CCS and using the Graphic LCD bitmap generator from mikroC (free 2k demo limited version) I can display my own bitmaps. I will be posting it soon. I did have one problem to work around though, making an array of 1024 is not able to be done in CCS as in mikroC, the bitmap had to be divided in 4 arrays of 256.
const INT maska_bmp1[256]
const INT maska_bmp2[256]
const INT maska_bmp3[256]
const INT maska_bmp4[256]
Or is there something I was doing wrong with not being able to create a 1024 array??  |

a couple of minor changes that work for me.
| Code: | struct lcd_pin_map { // This structure is overlayed
BOOLEAN unused : 2; // 2 x unused pins for LCD control
BOOLEAN rs; // RS LCD pin control. (RW pin grounded)
BOOLEAN enable; // enable LCD pin control.
int data : 4; // High nibble of port is used for data lines
} lcd;
|
and then | Code: | struct lcd_pin_map const LCD_WRITE = {0,0,0,0}; // For write mode all pins are out
struct lcd_pin_map const LCD_READ = {0,0,0,15}; // For read mode data pins are in |
.
code works OK, it was just I removed reference to RW that not being used
it appears that you dont need as well | Code: | | //struct lcd_pin_map const LCD_READ = {0,0,0,15}; // For read mode data pins are in |
As the compiler said, variable never used : LCD_READ
