Any LCD pin can be connected to any available I/O port. Includes a simple write string routine. */ /******************************* Program Notes ****************************** This program uses an 8-bit data interface but does not use the busy flag to determine when the LCD controller is ready. The LCD RW line (pin 5) is not connected to the uP and it must be connected to GND for the program to function. All time delays are longer than those specified in most datasheets in order to accommodate slower than normal LCD modules. This requirement is well documented but almost always ignored. The information is in a note at the bottom of the right hand (Execution Time) column of the instruction set. *************************************************************************** The eight data lines as well as the two control lines may be implemented on any available I/O pin of any port. These are the connections used for this program: ----------- ---------- | ATmega328 | | LCD | | | | | | PD7|---------------->|D7 | | PD6|---------------->|D6 | | PD5|---------------->|D5 | | PD4|---------------->|D4 | | PD3|---------------->|D3 | | PD2|---------------->|D2 | | PD1|---------------->|D1 | | PD0|---------------->|D0 | | | | | | PB1|---------------->|E | | | GND --->|RW | | PB0|---------------->|RS | ----------- ---------- **************************************************************************/ #define F_CPU 16000000UL #include #include // LCD interface (should agree with the diagram above) // make sure that the LCD RW pin is connected to GND #define lcd_D7_port PORTD // lcd D7 connection #define lcd_D7_bit PORTD7 #define lcd_D7_ddr DDRD #define lcd_D6_port PORTD // lcd D6 connection #define lcd_D6_bit PORTD6 #define lcd_D6_ddr DDRD #define lcd_D5_port PORTD // lcd D5 connection #define lcd_D5_bit PORTD5 #define lcd_D5_ddr DDRD #define lcd_D4_port PORTD // lcd D4 connection #define lcd_D4_bit PORTD4 #define lcd_D4_ddr DDRD #define lcd_D3_port PORTD // lcd D3 connection #define lcd_D3_bit PORTD3 #define lcd_D3_ddr DDRD #define lcd_D2_port PORTD // lcd D2 connection #define lcd_D2_bit PORTD2 #define lcd_D2_ddr DDRD #define lcd_D1_port PORTD // lcd D1 connection #define lcd_D1_bit PORTD1 #define lcd_D1_ddr DDRD #define lcd_D0_port PORTD // lcd D0 connection #define lcd_D0_bit PORTD0 #define lcd_D0_ddr DDRD #define lcd_E_port PORTB // lcd Enable pin #define lcd_E_bit PORTB1 #define lcd_E_ddr DDRB #define lcd_RS_port PORTB // lcd Register Select pin #define lcd_RS_bit PORTB0 #define lcd_RS_ddr DDRB // LCD module information #define lcd_LineOne 0x00 // start of line 1 #define lcd_LineTwo 0x40 // start of line 2 //#define lcd_LineThree 0x14 // start of line 3 (20x4) //#define lcd_lineFour 0x54 // start of line 4 (20x4) //#define lcd_LineThree 0x10 // start of line 3 (16x4) //#define lcd_lineFour 0x50 // start of line 4 (16x4) // LCD instructions #define lcd_Clear 0b00000001 // replace all characters with ASCII 'space' #define lcd_Home 0b00000010 // return cursor to first position on first line #define lcd_EntryMode 0b00000110 // shift cursor from left to right on read/write #define lcd_DisplayOff 0b00001000 // turn display off #define lcd_DisplayOn 0b00001100 // display on, cursor off, don't blink character #define lcd_FunctionReset 0b00110000 // reset the LCD #define lcd_FunctionSet8bit 0b00111000 // 8-bit data, 2-line display, 5 x 7 font #define lcd_SetCursor 0b10000000 // set cursor position // Program ID uint8_t program_author[] = "Donald Weiman"; uint8_t program_version[] = "LCD-AVR-8d (gcc)"; uint8_t program_date[] = "Sep 16, 2013"; // Function Prototypes void lcd_write_8(uint8_t); void lcd_write_instruction_8d(uint8_t); void lcd_write_character_8d(uint8_t); void lcd_write_string_8d(uint8_t *); void lcd_init_8d(void); /******************************* Main Program Code *************************/ int main(void) { // configure the microprocessor pins for the data lines lcd_D7_ddr |= (1<
