| 2-wire LCD driver, no need for xtal osc |
 Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2005 8:52 am |

I adapt CCS driver for use the 2wire serial lcd interface.
I found this interface very useful for lcd when a 1 wire serial lcd is not practical due use of INTRC osc configuration. This interface has no timings problem when used with internal osc!.
Just define in the main c module the 2 pins LCDCLK, LCDDAT..
I test this code in 16f84, 16f877, 16f628 with rc / intrc at 4mhz.
For 18fx52 20-40mhz operation, delays in lcd_es() is needed.
Original idea from Myke Predko.
For the schematics please see http://www.rentron.com/Myke1.htm .

There is a strange error... strange because you say to have tested this code.
In the function lcd_Send_Nibble you send only 3 bit of nibble and not 4.
>for (i = 1; i<4; i++) // Output the Nybble
>{
> ...
>}
cycles three times...
instead of:
for (i = 1; i<=4; i++) // Output the Nybble
{
...
}
It's right the one which I am saying?
Tnx

I've tried this code now with the modified 'for' and it work fine but another bug is present in the command char \f (Clear Display). The delay of 1ms isn't enough to complete clear sequence, 5ms is ok.

Alex,
I feel it, it is truth, there is a typing error in the for loop, I already corrected it.
The 1ms works ok in Powertip 1602 LCDs, and avoided the blinking that happens when was 5ms, this depend of LCD that being this used, the correct thing would have to be 5ms, it would work in all the cases.
Tnx, Greetings from Argentina

Hi Hernan,
I'm using an Apex P162001 and a write after only 1ms take random char
 . Thanx for your code it will be very useful for my project
In my version (two small mod at your code) I have used an 8-bit shift register (74HC164) instead of d-latch (74HC174) this give me two more pin available for drive something.
Tnx from Italy

Is there any trick to this program?
I cannot see anything on my LCD. I've created the schematics from Myke's web page and using your code to make a simple "HELLO".
The LCD is all black.
I'm using 16F77, 4Mhz.
would you please help?
Thankx
here is my main code:
| Code: |
#include <16F77.h>
#device adc=8
#fuses NOWDT,XT, NOPUT, NOPROTECT, NOBROWNOUT
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#include "LCD174Driver.c"
void main() {
port_b_pullups(TRUE);
setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
setup_spi(FALSE);
setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_1);
setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
lcd_init();
delay_ms(1000);
lcd_putc('\f');
while(true) {
lcd_putc('\f');
delay_ms(10);
lcd_putc('\n');
delay_ms(10);
lcd_putc('h');
output_high(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(1000);
output_low(PIN_B0);
}
}
|
and here is your driver code:
| Code: |
//// LCDHG.C

////

//// lcd_putc(c) Will display c on the next position of the LCD.

void lcd_Es() {
output_high(LCDDAT);
//delay_us(200); //only in high mhz
output_low(LCDDAT);
}
void lcd_Clk() {
output_high(LCDCLK);
output_low(LCDCLK);
}
void lcd_Send_Nibble( char nibble, int1 rs) {
int8 i;
DATA0; // clear output

else {

}

}

}
void lcd_send_byte( int n , int1 rs) {
lcd_send_nibble(n >> 4 , rs);
lcd_send_nibble(n & 0xf, rs);
}
void lcd_init( void) {

delay_us(160);

delay_us(160);
lcd_send_byte(0x28,0);
lcd_send_byte(0x08,0);
lcd_send_byte(0x01,0);
delay_ms(5);
lcd_send_byte(0x06,0);
lcd_send_byte(0x0C,0);
}
void lcd_gotoxy( int x, int y) {
BYTE address;
if (y!=1) {
address=0x40;
} else {
address=0;
}
address+=x-1;
lcd_send_byte(0x80|address,0);
}
void lcd_putc( char c) {
switch (c) {
case '\f' : lcd_send_byte(1,0); delay_ms(5); break;
case '\n' : lcd_gotoxy(1,2); break;
case '\b' : lcd_send_byte(0x10,0); break;
default : lcd_send_byte(c,1); break;
}
}

the LED on B0 blinks OK, so I know the PIC part is working.
Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thankx |

The nibble is four bit long, check your lcd_Send_Nibble function...
this statement is wrong because it cycles five times...
| Code: |
for (i = 0; i<5; i++) { // Output the Nybble
|
correct version:
| Code: |
for (i = 0; i<4; i++) { // Output the Nybble
|
Bye

mAnNaRo,
I have lots of 74595 chips, which are also 8 bit shift register. I was wondering what modifications you made to Donlasers code, and if you would be willing to share it, if it would work with 74595, and the connection details.
Thanks,
tvnorm |

| Whether this needs a shift register for operation as mentioned in Mike website stated above?? |

Any1 online?? i have a doubt in connecting the LCD with the microcontroller.
What are the pins to be connected in the respective LCD pins..
Pls reply.. Its urgent i need it for my final year project to be submitted in 15 days.. |

Hi, do you have the code for using 2wire with the 74164 ? I'm having trouble to make it work. Thanks |

Hello Everybody,
I have built the circuit with 74LS174 and LCD.
I would like to say that the code above for 2 wire lcd does not work. I don't understand why.
So I would like to ask who has a good code please send it me or load up.
Thank you for your helping.
Sorry for my English.
