PIC18F8722 help; nothing happening
PostPosted: Thu Mar 23, 2006 9:27 am     Reply with quote

I am having trouble getting any output on my LED when using the PIC18F8722... please help:


#include <18F8722.h>
#include "FLEX_LCD420.C"

void main()
{

lcd_init();

while(1)
{
output_high(PIN_F2);
delay_ms(1000);
output_low(PIN_F2);

printf(lcd_putc, "Hello World.");
lcd_putc("f");

delay_ms(1000);
}
}

The only change I made to the FLEX_LCD420.c was to change the appropriate pin connections I am using:

#define LCD_DB4 PIN_F4
#define LCD_DB5 PIN_F5
#define LCD_DB6 PIN_F6
#define LCD_DB7 PIN_F7

#define LCD_E PIN_F2
#define LCD_RS PIN_F0
#define LCD_RW PIN_F1

That's [spam]'s code. He's going to have to support it.
Just letting you know.

The flexible lcd code also works with powertip LCD modules with 16x2 and 5*8 dots?
I canīt configure this LCD manually with function sets and all this things.

Did you remember to include NOLVP in your fuses?

lcd_putc() will display a single char.
You can redirect the printf command to the LCD by supplying this function name as the first parameter of the printf. Look at the help for printf to see an example.

It's a very useful code!!

I'm using it in a huge project, needing to optimize the use of the ports, and this code has become an excelent solution

how can I modify flex_lcd.c to drive NKK Smartswitch LCD
PostPosted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:18 am     Reply with quote

I am a beginner to PIC programming and I am using PIC 18F6722 to drive NKK Smartswitch LCD.

http://www.nkksmartswitch.com/PDF/IS01NCF.pdf?

// As defined in the following structure the pin connection of Port F is as
// follows:
// F0 rs
// F1 rw
// F2 enable
// F3 LCD_LP
// F4 LCD_DOUT
// F5 LCD_BL
// Pins F6 and F7 are not connected

How can I modify flex_lcd.c to drive 36 X 24 pixel NKK Smartswitch LCD

Your going to have to write a whole new driver. This device is serial in nature, like a 74595/74165 see example ex_expio.c

And note that this is the wrong place to be asking for help.
see item 2.

Sorry about this silly question but can anyone explain what are the meaning of this line

output_bit(LCD_DB4, !!(nibble & 1));

i think is putting on the PIN (#define LCD_DB4 PIN_D0) D0 one bit, so far so good, but what is !!, I cannot find out why do you need twice negative (nibble & 1) which I think is always the LSB of each byte...

Please clarify, and thanks in advance.

There is a note in the source code which explains this:
Quote:
void lcd_send_nibble(int8 nibble)
{
// Note: !! converts an integer expression
// to a boolean (1 or 0).

output_bit(LCD_DB4, !!(nibble & 1));
output_bit(LCD_DB5, !!(nibble & 2));
output_bit(LCD_DB6, !!(nibble & 4));
output_bit(LCD_DB7, !!(nibble & 8));

delay_cycles(1);
output_high(LCD_E);
delay_us(2);
output_low(LCD_E);
}



The CCS output_bit() function wants the 'value' parameter to be 0 or 1.
From the CCS manual:
Quote:
Syntax:
output_bit (pin, value)

Parameters:
Pins are defined in the devices .h file. The actual number is
a bit address. For example, port a (byte 5) bit 3 would have
a value of 5*8+3 or 43. This is defined as follows: #define
PIN_A3 43. Value is a 1 or a 0.


Doing a double negation (!!) will convert an integer value to a 0 or 1.
I am giving the output_bit() function what it needs.

Give the manufacturer and part number of the 24x2 LCD that you
want to use. Post a link to the data sheet. I'll look at it.
