LCD_LINES Question Help ?

Thank you for reading

Quick Question to confirm...

"Set number of lines on LCD
DEFINE LCD_LINES 2 "

Does the above mean define 2 line display

or

DEFINE LCD_LINES 1 (2 Line Display)
DEFINE LCD_LINES 2 (4 LINE Display)

Manual is not clear.... Various info around internet ?

Andy, this is the routine I use for a 4 line LCD on my EasyPIC5 board

Code:

---

DEFINE LCD_DREG  PORTB                  ' LCD Data port
DEFINE LCD_DBIT  0                      ' starting Data bit (0 or 4)
DEFINE LCD_EREG  PORTB                  ' LCD Enable port
DEFINE LCD_EBIT  5                      '    Enable bit  (on EasyPIC 5 LCD)
DEFINE LCD_RSREG PORTB                  ' LCD Register Select port
DEFINE LCD_RSBIT 4                      '    Register Select bit  (on EasyPIC 5 LCD)
DEFINE LCD_BITS  4                      ' LCD bus size (4 or 8 bits)
DEFINE LCD_LINES 4                      ' number of lines on LCD
DEFINE LCD_COMMANDUS 2000              ' Command delay time in us
DEFINE LCD_DATAUS 50                    ' Data delay time in us

If you have a 2 x 16 or 2 x 20 LCD then change the DEFINE LCD_LINES 4 to DEFINE LCD_LINES 2

Hi Scampy

So for 2 lines ........LCD_LINES 2

Thank you

Andy

Hi Andy,

That's correct.
