a Lcd connected to pic 16f877 in port D doesn't work.
PostPosted: Thu Jan 23, 2003 9:59 am     Reply with quote

hello every one.

I have a question about connecting a LCD to the pic 16F877.

The question is that the LCD works if connected to Port B, but in Port D there is no way to make it works.

Can it be a current problem? Doesn`t port D give enouh mA to the Lcd??Can the problem be relationed with the pull up resistors?

I can do my proyect with the LCD in port B but I would like to Know why in Port D doesn't works.

Thanks

You couldn't need the pull up resistor on port d 0x08
for 16f877.
you use the driver #include<lcd.c> for drive your lcd.
because this driver don't run with my lcd (ic ks0066u).

Well, i'm afraid i didn't explain myself very well.

Port B has internal weak pull up resistor, but i don't use it when i connect Lcd to this port. It's no needed.

I've been seing the 16f877 manual and i have seen that port B has ttl levels when configured as input.
The difference between port D is :
Port D has schmitt trigger levels when configured as standart I/O pin, and Ttl when configured as paralell slave port mode.
Port B has ttl levels when configured as standart I/O pin.

It's maybe the source of my problem.

I use LCD PC1602F-B (POWERTIP) AND here you have the LCD code i use, that works ok in port B (but not in D)

I'm doing exactly what you're trying to do:
Driving an LCD from Port D with a PIC16F877.

It works perfectly.

Not only do you need to convert the tris lines
in lcd.h to port D instead of port B, as you seem to have
done, but you ALSO need to be sure that the
pin data structure is mapped to port D as well:

Original way:
#byte lcd = 6 // This puts the entire structure // on to port B

Modified way for Port D:
#byte lcd = 8

Did you try that?
