tutorial on lcd16x2, c18

Postby hayview » Fri Jul 24, 2015 11:35 pm

When I first started on writing the code for lcd16x2, I do face some on and off problems :cry: .

Luckily there are numerous of examples and source codes on the web, I manage to display something on hd44780 :lol: .

The main problem of all is modifying other source code to cater your needs as some readings are required :o .

After I was able to compile and display custom character on SK40C board, I was so happy and have the urge to share the joy with other people.
:lol: that why I wrote these tutorials.

First tutorial shows the initialisation of lcd using c18,

second tutorial shows how to create custom character in hd44780.

hayview, thanks for sharing.

We did three similar tutorials few years back:
- LCD part 1, in depth of hardware interface and command needed to drive LCD.
- LCD part II, writing basic code and function for LCD from PIC microcontroller.
- LCD Part III, creating your own customized character on LCD.

It is based on HD44780 driver.
