pin mapping in LCD.C
PostPosted: Wed Aug 26, 2009 1:29 am     Reply with quote
I'm trying to use LCD.C driver with a LCD module connected to a PIC16F876 with the following connections:
Quote:
LCD <---> micro
D4 <---> RB0
D5 <---> RB1
D6 <---> RB2
D7 <---> RB3
E <---> RB4
RS <---> RB5
R / W <---> ground


I edit LCD.C driver in this way:
Quote:
// Un-comment the following define to use port B
#define use_portb_lcd TRUE


struct lcd_pin_map {
int data : 4; // assegna le linee dati del LCD ai pin RB0 - RB3
BOOLEAN enable; // assegna ENABLE al pin RB4
BOOLEAN rs; // assegna RS (dati/istruzioni) al pin RB5
// BOOLEAN rw; // RW a massa
BOOLEAN unused1; // lascia libero il pin RB6
BOOLEAN unused2; // lascia libero il pin RB7
} lcd;

and I comment 3 lines with " lcd.rw = 0;"

This is the simple test program I'm using:
Quote:
#include <16F876.h> //richiama il file di impostazioni per il PIC16F876

#use delay(clock=4000000) //questa spam è necessaria perché LCD_DEMO.C usa delay_us()

#include <LCD_DEMO.C> //edited version of LCD.C


void main() {

lcd_init();
lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
lcd_putc("PRIMA spam");

}
but I don't see any character in the screen. It seems (not sure) that LCD is initialized.

May be the problem is in the line with " int data : 4;" ?
Is there an alternative way to specify the data lines of LCD ?

Use the flex driver:

Edit the #define statements at the top of the driver to match the pins that
you're using, and comment out this line in the driver:
Quote:
// #define USE_LCD_RW 1

Make sure your contrast voltage is set correctly. A good starting point
is about 0.5 volts.

It works and it's easy to configure. Thank you very much.
Just to know would it possible to use LCD.c for the same application ?
