Well, I don't see anything to be slow at 8mhz, except I2C :D
Had no time today, will measure I2C frequency tomorrow and post back....

The issue is that these boundaries should be changeable, since different chars will have different pixel width.
There are two ways of doing this - all capitals have same width and all non-capital...

Hello.
I'm upgrading my ST7920 "library", so letters can have variable width, for better visual appearance.
For this purpose, I plan to have single, screen-wide bit array, in which I will write the...

Not yet, but will do. Measure what, I2C clock frequency?
Tried modifying code in a way, that only that part of screen is redrawn, which is being updated. For some uses it does helps, but not always.

Good.
So I have to "learn" to use SPI eeprom 1st, and then use MSSP :)
By the way, if I leave current setup as is - using I2C, but use PIC running at say 32mhz (instead of current 8mhz), will this...

Thanks, but that code is missing SSPBUF declaration?

Well I tried software SPI with MAX7219 and was not impressed at all - updating 32x8 pixels led display was quite slow....

Well, just added these square brackets - see no difference in readings.

Big thanks Richard! now it works!

here's the code:


adr=$46
x=0
cnt=%0100011
i2cwrite ldta, lclk, adr, cnt
pause 200

The main difference between us is the sourcing capabilities :)
I'm buying everything from china, so I'm paying about 3 cents for 24C256 and parallel eeprom is somewhere around 40 cents. I guess, I...

Thanks everyone.
So let's answer step by step.
There are no significant delays with ST7920 itself nor SPI should be used for it. I'm looking for best compatibility, and with LCDOUT it works like...

24C256 is 32KB EEPROM.
So I'm using it, because I need that much amount of font/graphics data :)

I'm using 24C256 for a good reason - due to amount of data being used :)
Also, when using program memory, it won't be that easy to form the letters, as I do in the example above.

Hello.
There are LCD modules, based on ST7920 controller, which are pin and command compatible with HD44780 controllers, so they can be used with PBP, by using LCDOUT statement. This saves a lot of...

Thanks!
Tried both, none works, so I guess, I'm missing something else too...

Changed syntax, still getting zeroes, what I'm doing wrong?



ldta var porta.6
lclk var porta.3

x var word
y var byte
z var byte

So by checking the last bit, I can know, whenever variable went into negative world, right?

Well, I tried to use what I already have working for DS3231 :)
Manual is not very clear about I2C....

8 years passed and now I'm giving it 2nd try, but it still does not works (returns 58317 constantly). Here's code:



ldta var porta.6
lclk var porta.3


x var word
adr var byte

Variable value should go to negative, but since we have no negative, it goes into 65xxx range :)

It's not ADC value reference that causes problems.
Here's the explanation.

Say ADC changes from 100 to 200 and "middle" point is being 150.
So to have zero at my system variable output (which I...

I'm helping some fellow students to build an extinction meter.
There's ADC reading, and based on liquid passed in the system, light transmission, compared to reference, might increase or decrease....

Hello again :)

is there any way to avoid getting 65xxx numbers instead of negative numbers, when X-Y and Y is > X ?
I know, that PBPL can do it, but I don't want to use 18 series.

So maybe...

Thanks!
I never used serial transmission with PICs, so I need SEROUT/SERIN statements to be used, right?

Their tutorial is quite weird.


I do need additional hardware or can hook it to say PIC16F886 directly?
Also, about Baudrate and other init options, it is not clear I need to do it each time on...
