| LCD HD44780 PCF8574T i2c Driver |

Hello,
trying to control an LCD via i2c, I have this hardware
* PIC16F877
* LCD HD44780
* Arduino-IIC-LCD GY-LCD-V1 (with PCF8574T)
also I have CCS 4.108 and this library

When compiling I have "Attempt to create a pointer to a constant" errors on lines like
| Code: | | lcd_send_nibble(0, "C"); |
and also
| Code: | | lcd_send_byte(LCD_INIT_STRING, "C"); |
I don't have experience on i2c nor CCS Compiler. Any idea what's is happening?

The function declaration for your nibble routine looks like this:
| Quote: | | void lcd_send_nibble( byte n, byte type ) { |
The 2nd parameter is a byte. But below, and in several other places, you
are trying to give it a string:
| Quote: | | lcd_send_nibble(0, "C"); |
To give it a parameter of the letter C, then you need to put it in single
quotes. Example:
| Code: | | lcd_send_nibble(0, 'C'); |
Also change your switch-case statement to put the characters in single
quotes. This will give you a byte instead of a string. |

And some array addressing at lcd_init()

At this point I can see PCF8574 working with an oscilloscope but nothing happens on LCD. Any Idea or have someone a working lib for this?

The driver does work....
Reason's it won't.
Using D0 to D3 instead of D4 to D7 on the LCD.
Not having a suitable Vo on the LCD.
Then just general connection problems.
You need about 500mSec delay _before_ lcd_init.
LCD's generally need about 60 to 100mSec after their supply goes 'good', before they will work. Many types don't see their supply as 'good', till a long time after the PIC. Hence 00 to 500mSec delay is needed before sending anything.
If you want an alternative look at the flex_lcd driver in the code forum, which is slightly more generic, and often works easier.

Post a link to the webpage for the LCD that you bought so we can look
at the specs and documentation for the LCD. |

I just found out that:
For PCF8574A the addressing is:
Jp3 Jp2 Jp1
A2 A1 A0 Dec Hex
L L L 56 0x38
L L H 57 0x39
L H L 64 0x40
L H H 74 0x4A
H L L 75 0x4B
H L H 76 0x4C
H H L 77 0x4D
H H H 78 0x4E
For PCF8574 the addressing is:
Jp3 Jp2 Jp1
A2 A1 A0 Dec Hex
L L L 32 0x20
L L H 33 0x21
L H L 34 0x22
L H H 35 0x23
H L L 36 0x24
H L H 37 0x25
H H L 38 0x26
H H H 39 0x27

Thanks PCM Programmer... The Address is 0x4e... but the driver in this thread still not working... I could make the lcd work only through another 16x4 driver...but my display is 16x2...maybe it is the reason that I got a bug in the backlight.. it turns it off when I send the command ON. I'll post the driver code below:

Hi Folks Again
The issue with the driver shared by Zilog750 (in my case) was the PCF8574T i2c interface Pins, which does not match the ones declared in that driver. Can anyone explain how to change it in the driver? the code seems to be a bit complex to me,,, and would really appreciate if someone can explain how the driver is accessing these pins... is there a better way to do that?
I want to change it from:
// PCF8574P LCD
// ======== ======
// P0 Enable
// P1 RS
// P2 RW
// P3 No connect
// P4 D4
// P5 D5
// P6 D6
// P7 D7
To:
// PCF8574P LCD
// ======== ======
// P0 > RS
// P1 > R/W
// P2 > Enable
// P3 > No connect
// P4 > D4
// P5 > D5
// P6 > D6
// P7 > D7

It's done with the numbers shown in bold below. My advice is to change
those numbers from hex format (0x) to binary format (0b prefix). Then
compare the values in bits 0 to 2, to the pin table for pins P0, P1 and P2
given below. You will see a correspondence.

Or of course, use the names...
| Code: |
/ PCF8574P LCD
// ======== ======
// P0 Enable
// P1 RS
// P2 RW
// P3 No connect
// P4 D4
// P5 D5
// P6 D6
// P7 D7
#define ENABLE 1
#define RS 2
#define NOT ~
#define n_shifted n<<4
switch (type)
{
case 'C' :
i2c_write(n_shifted);
delay_cycles(1);
i2c_write(n_shifted | ENABLE);
delay_us(2);
i2c_write(n_shifted & NOT ENABLE);
break;
case 'D' :
i2c_write(n_shifted | 0xRS);
delay_cycles(1);
i2c_write(n_shifted | RS | ENABLE);
delay_us(2);
i2c_write(n_shifted & RS);
break;
}
|
This way the names reflect what pins you are operating.

| Working Driver!!! |

Thanks for the tips Ttelmah!!!
Both Drivers are working now... but I've modified and recompiled a third one... I will share it here for anyone who needs in future...after all.. I owe a lot to this forum...
It can control any compatible LCD HITACHI from a bus I2C with
an PCF8574T I/O expander.
The Driver worked with 2x16, 2x20 and 4x20 lcd modules.
I renamed it for "i2c_Flex_LCD.h"
Driver code:

Why not add it to the Code Library?

As a minor 'consider this', why not change the init to something like:
| Code: |
void lcd_init(void)
{
delay_ms(200); //LCD power up delay
cont int8 init_data[] = {0x0,0x10,0x0,0x0,0x10, \
0x30,0x30, \ //8bit mode
0x30,0x20, \ //4bit mode
0x20,0x80, \ //2lines 5*7
0x00,0xC0, \ //No cursor
0x00,0x60 };
int8 ctr;
//Request works on the command by set the RS = 0 R/W = 0 write
for (ctr=0;ctr<sizeof(init_data;ctr++)
lcd_send_byte(ctr); //send initialisation
//clears the display
lcd_clear();
}
|
When you are using the same command fifteen times, it may well be a case of 'better to loop'.
