Nokia lcd include , small footprint to suit pic16's

**richard** · - 16th May 2018, 12:06

Entire demo is 872 words ,its less than 1/3 size of other attempts and has same features and a full alpha-numeric font

**Ioannis** · - 16th May 2018, 16:37

Amazing work Richard.

Well done Richard, Ioannis almost got it right - put a star up against your name and let's call it 6*.

I agree... nicely done, Richard. I can't tell you how much I enjoy studying and learning from your code.

I was inspired by how you compressed a 96 character 5x7 font table down to something like 288 words and I spent most of the day implementing something similar on an old 5110 demo program written in C for a 16F1823. With just basic INIT, CMD, DAT, and STR functions, the program now uses less than 500 words of program memory. I'm pretty geeked about it! Thank you...

Take care. Have fun. Cheerful regards, Mike

**richard** · - 18th May 2018, 10:50

if you really want to geek it up

changing the output routine to use the mssp module shaves another 10% off the code size
and speeds the thing up by a factor of 10x

din and clk need to be on sdo and sck

this

PAUSEUS 150
SHiftOUT LCD_DIN,LCD_CLK,1,[LcdData]

becomes

PIR1.3=0
SSP1BUF = LcdData
WHILE !PIR1.3 : wend

and this is added to init routine

SSP1CON1=$21 ;$22,21,20 all work @32mhz 20 is fastest
SSP1STAT=$40

Yes, I already thought about using the SPI module. The current bit-bang driver uses 14 words of memory and runs at ~190-kb/s (with 8-MHz clock). An SPI driver and its init code shouldn't be any bigger. I hope to work on an SPI driver later today. I just need to refresh my memory on the SPI modes. Looks like you're using CKE = 1 and CKP = 0, yes?

Implementing the 'packed' font table and extracting data was surprisingly simple, though I'm coding pretty close to the metal and the results are nothing as agile or elegant as your use of the 'readcode' function. Here's an excerpt, if you're interested;

Hi Richard,

Just taking a quick look at your Include demo and I can only write 13 characters per line successfully... if 14 then the result is a wrap around and overwriting of the first char. Example below:

Code:

looper:
    LCDCLR
;    LCDSTR  6,0,"-Nokia-Demo-"      ; Line 0, position 6. 
    LCDSTR  0,0,"I wonder what happens if the string is large?"  ; = Rubbish on first line and "missing quote" error message. 
;    LCDSTR  0,0,"I wonder what?"    ; = "? wonder what" [14 chars]
    LCDSTR  0,0,"I wonder what"     ; = "I wonder what" [13 chars only]
    LCDC   0,4,"'"                  ; Line 4, position 0.
    LCDC   25,5,"8"                ; Line 5, position 25.
    PAUSE 1000
    GOTO looper

I'll test more later today and let you know if I find anything else needing a tweak. Again, great job.

Regards,
Bill

**richard** · - 19th May 2018, 04:17

yes probably, but here is a new version with double size chr capability and mssp and font unpacking in asm [like in my ks0108 code]

its not been texted on a pic18 , but its blisteringly fast on the 16f1847, and will fill screen fully

thanks go to blll [wjsmarine] for donation of hardware for this project, enjoy

**wjsmarine** · - 19th May 2018, 10:56

That's impressive, Richard.

Can you explain how your font table works and how you derived those values in each column please? What limits the size of the table one can create?

I'd like to learn from it and maybe if I can get my head around the process find a way to smooth out the double size characters (particularly 0-9, the degree symbol and C) - I'm guessing you are working your magic to achieve double size by math so it probably means making a larger table to accommodate these.

An indication of smooth characters is shown in the pic attached, made with the previous lookup table style, which consumed 4 normal sized chars' area per big one and 2 lines (as does yours) and also noting the degree C was formed as one big character. Apologies for the blurry image, not helped with the scratchy plastic over the LCD to protect the glass...

Thanks for your patience and help.

Regards,
Bill

**richard** · - 19th May 2018, 11:36

I replace the _ chr with @ dw 642 , 9266 ,72 in my fonts to get a deg C chr

achieve double size by math so it probably means making a larger table to accommodate these

correct , I know of no realistic way to smooth the result , it has been tried.
table size is only limited by the memory available.
if you create a large font say 14x10 for digits it would not be an unreasonable size, but would need its own routines to unpack and display
if you plot my font on graph paper its pretty obvious how it works, the pic 18 version is easier to disassemble

**richard** · - 19th May 2018, 12:16

some 8x8 graphpaper
AND an old spread sheet that did the number crunching

**Mike, K8LH** · - 19th May 2018, 22:15

I used a spreadsheet to convert my old 5 byte per character tables, too. Works a treat...

I came up with the same solution , the freely available font creators [like the mikronta one] don't really
convert the font to the most efficient format for pic's when codespace is an issue.
although they can be a good starting point

**Mike, K8LH** · - 20th May 2018, 10:58

Nice job on the spreadsheet, Richard. I just finished modifying mine to format the packed font table output for either C or asm. Here's a sample;

Code:

	0x0000,	0x0000,	0x0000,	//  32	 ' '
	0x0000,	0x2F80,	0x0000,	//  33	 '!'
	0x0007,	0x0007,	0x0000,	//  34	 '"'
	0x0A7F,	0x0A7F,	0x0A00,	//  35	 '#'
	0x122A,	0x3FAA,	0x0900,	//  36	 '$'
	0x1193,	0x0464,	0x3100,	//  37	 '%'
	0x1B49,	0x2AA2,	0x2800,	//  38	 '&'
	0x0005,	0x0180,	0x0000,	//  39	 '''
	0x001C,	0x1141,	0x0000,	//  40	 '('
	0x0041,	0x111C,	0x0000,	//  41	 ')'
	0x0A08,	0x1F08,	0x0A00,	//  42	 '*'
	0x0408,	0x1F08,	0x0400,	//  43	 '+'

Code:

     dw	0x0000,	0x0000,	0x0000	;  32	 ' '
     dw	0x0000,	0x2F80,	0x0000	;  33	 '!'
     dw	0x0007,	0x0007,	0x0000	;  34	 '"'
     dw	0x0A7F,	0x0A7F,	0x0A00	;  35	 '#'
     dw	0x122A,	0x3FAA,	0x0900	;  36	 '$'
     dw	0x1193,	0x0464,	0x3100	;  37	 '%'
     dw	0x1B49,	0x2AA2,	0x2800	;  38	 '&'
     dw	0x0005,	0x0180,	0x0000	;  39	 '''
     dw	0x001C,	0x1141,	0x0000	;  40	 '('
     dw	0x0041,	0x111C,	0x0000	;  41	 ')'
     dw	0x0A08,	0x1F08,	0x0A00	;  42	 '*'
     dw	0x0408,	0x1F08,	0x0400	;  43	 '+'

I also decided to render all 96 characters directly from the input table so that I can see at-a-glance which characters might need tweaking...

Just finished the font render part of my spreadsheet. It renders directly from the unpacked 5-byte 'input' table. Change a byte in there and you'll see the changes immediately. Mind if I show it off, guys (see below)?

Richard... Would you be interested in seeing my driver code for font tables with 2.5 word-per-character packing instead of 3 word-per-character packing? The new '2.5' font tables use 240 words of memory (down from 288 words) and my little single file ~225 line (non-PBP) demo program now weighs in at ~406 words total memory...

Cheerful regards, Mike

**richard** · - 25th May 2018, 00:14

Richard... Would you be interested in seeing my driver code for font tables

yes please, I had considered doing that but could not find a method that preserved the gain
my attempts used half the saved space up doing the unpacking

**Mike, K8LH** · - 25th May 2018, 03:20

First, here's how I'm packing font pattern data into 2-1/2 words within groups of 5 words;

Name: font pack 25.png
Views: 5921
Size: 77.2 KB

In the first part of my WrChar() routine I calculate the table address by first subtracting the font table offset (32) from the ASCII character value (32..127). Then I multiply the resulting font table index (0..95) by 2.5 and add the integer result (0..237) to the font table base address. In my case, I'm using a fixed 0x0400 address for the font table so I don't need to perform the addition. I simply stuff the 0..237 value directly into EEADRL and the hi byte of the font table address into EEADRH.

In the other half of my WrChar() routine, if the font table index is even I print the 1st word hi & lo bytes, the 2nd word hi & lo bytes, and the 3rd word hi byte. If the font table index is odd I print the 1st word lo byte, the 2nd word hi & lo bytes, and the 3rd word hi & lo bytes. You'll notice the logic is relatively simple and unrolling the print loop to accommodate the logic doesn't seem to have incurred additional program overhead.

The new demo program (attached below) is 50 words smaller than the old (3-word-per-character) program (406 words total) so it seems I've realized the full 48 word savings from the new packed font table format.

I hope this example provides some useful ideas and I'm sorry I can't help with PBP...

Have fun... Cheerful regards, Mike

Nice to see an XC8 example excerpt...

May I ask where I can find information for placing DW data in XC8 at an absolute address, please? I haven't found it so far, nor can I get your example working in a 16F1823 XC8 project...

I'm also struggling with MCC (Microsoft Code Configurator)...

**richard** · - 26th May 2018, 00:30

May I ask where I can find information for placing DW data in XC8 at an absolute address

all my knowledge came from google" xc8 psect" , i have not found a good reference yet
the xc8 use rguide/manual is severely lacking in that respect

key elements
PSECT strings,class=CODE,abs,delta=2
ORG 0x1f00

my example uses an asm segment in a c include file, it may be better to place the data in an asm file and include that instead
because i have terrible trouble getting "labels" to work properly my way. [ still learning]

mcc is a splendid thing once you get the hang of it, for the chips it supports.
once i have created the standalone project i use mcc to set the osc and create the main.c and mcc files
then you can add the pins/hw modules

**richard** · - 26th May 2018, 03:32

a saner way is, and let the linker locate the font for you

font .c file

Code:

#include <xc.h>
#asm
psect FONT_table,class=CODE,local,delta=2
  GLOBAL _FNT
_FNT
        DW 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x005F, 0x0000 //  32 ' '  '!'
        DW 0x0007, 0x0007, 0x0014, 0x3F94, 0x3F94 //  34 '"'  '#'
        DW 0x122A, 0x3FAA, 0x0923, 0x0988, 0x3262 //  36 '$'  '%'
        DW 0x1B49, 0x2AA2, 0x2800, 0x0283, 0x0000 //  38 '&'  '''
   ................

in main.c

extern const char FNT;
int addr=&FNT;

in wrChar()
unsigned int dat, inx = addr;
char i = 5;

Hi Richard,

Well done to you and Mike for continuing the thread, even though what you are documenting is so far above my head I'm dizzy...

If I can jump in here I'd like to bring your attention to an undocumented feature of your Inc file I've just discovered when converting my previous code to run it. For various reasons, but mainly leading zero suppression, I insert a space but with your Inc file I get error messages e.g.

Code:

looper:
    LCDCLR
    bigtxt = 1     ; double size chrs
    LCDSTR 0,0,"Noki+12"
    LCDSTR 0,2,"345678@" 
    bigtxt = 0     ; normal size chrs
'    LCDSTR 52,3,"Demo"
    LCDSTR 0,4,"With@MSSP xfer" 
'    LCDSTR 0,5,"Dble Size Chrs"     
    LCDSTR 0,5," "  ; this doesn't compile - causes errors and warnings wherever used.     
'    LCDSTR 0,5,32   ; same result as above (worth a try).     
    PAUSE 1000       
    GOTO looper

resulting in
[ASM ERROR] NOKIA_DEMO PPS.ASM (1701) : Illegal character (0)
[ASM WARNING] NOKIA_DEMO PPS.ASM (1701) : Found label after column 1. (LCDSTR?CCC)

When you have the time may I ask for this to be corrected?

Kind regards,
Bill

LCDSTR 0,5," "

its a pbp problem

" " is not a String pbp interprets a single chr as a byte , regardless of the quotes . and its not possible to fix it

you can simply use

LCDC " "
or
LCDC 0,5," "

to print a single character

have a look at this
http://support.melabs.com/forum/picb...strtok-usercmd
it has a rightjustify user command in it,

eg to display a 3 digit field

Code:

 arraywrite buff,[dec h,0]
    RJUSTBUFF  buff,3
    LCDSTR  36,0,BUFF

**Mike, K8LH** · - 26th May 2018, 08:12

Ah... Thank you for the PSECT search term. Got it. I also discovered that I could use a label in the font table and access that address in my code... Very exciting stuff (grin)...

I still need to double-check and simulate my XC8 version but so far it uses 381 words (141 code + 240 font). I didn't use MCC (Microchip Code Configurator) so it's a single file, about 235 lines, including the font table (see below).

MCC doesn't seem to support the MSSP module on my 16F1823 so I still need to consult the datasheet before I can implement the SPI driver.

Cheerful regards, Mike, K8LH

mssp is pretty easy

SSP1CON1=0x21 ;$22,21,20 all work @32mhz 20 is fastest
SSP1STAT=0x40
sdo and sck pins set to dig o/p

to transfer data
PIR1.3=0
SSP1BUF = data
WHILE (!PIR1.3) ;

tried your code on 16f1847 ,its not working

**Mike, K8LH** · - 26th May 2018, 15:27

It seems XC8 is placing my program code on top of my font table in the 0700h area of memory. More detective work (sigh)...

Thanks for the MSSP/SPI info, Richard. I will get to that after tracking down the current problem...

Mike

<added>

If you get a chance, add the "ovrld" param' to the following line and tell me if that fixes the problem, please?

Code:

   PSECT myFonts, class=CODE, abs, ovrld, space=0, delta=2
                                   ^^^^^

**richard** · - 26th May 2018, 16:47

ovrld,

does not fix it
even local too

there is more wrong than just that , the putwreg function is getting called six times for the wrchar
and only 5 times for the entire putstr call
its a total bitch to debug with all that inline asm , the debugger just
goes stupid

putcmd looks fine on the logic analyser , it all goes pear shaped from then on

**Mike, K8LH** · - 26th May 2018, 19:01

Sorry, Richard (and gang). A bug at the very top of the putchar() routine was messing up the font table address. And yes, I know assembler is a PITA... I wish I could get a gratis copy of PBP...

Corrected version attached (375 words total). I still need to dig out my old Nokia 5110 display and test this on real hardware. I also have a tiny 128x32 I2C OLED display and a tiny 128x64 SPI OLED display to play with sometime soon.

Cheerful regards, Mike

putstr still not working

I think it should look like this, but it only works for the first call
so I get "Re and then garbage

Code:

 void putstr(const char *str)     // put 'ROM' strings
   {                     //
     while(*str) 
       wrchar(*str++);
   }                                //

**richard** · - 27th May 2018, 03:08

more oddly

strcpy(buff,"eady");

putstr(buff);

works with my modified routine

putstr("eady");
crashes the show

**richard** · - 27th May 2018, 03:25

Code:

void wrchar(char d)          //
   { 
     volatile char ascii=d;

fixed it, compiler optimised ascii var out

**Mike, K8LH** · - 27th May 2018, 03:31

Yes, your putstr() routine is better...

While debugging I've found XC8 is using the same memory location for local variables in both the wrchar() and putstr() functions. The wrchar@ascii variable is using 70h and the putstr@str pointer is using 70h and 71h. Is this a result of my heavy use of assembly code? That is, XC8 doesn't realize those local variables need to be unique? How do I get XC8 to use unique memory locations for those local variables?

**richard** · - 27th May 2018, 03:39

make them static

**richard** · - 27th May 2018, 04:57

I think I prefer my take on this
since:-
the font is automatically located
the pin/hw defines are in mcc ,therefore its simple to port to any chip that can read its own flash
its easy to debug
bigtext and inverted text are easily implemented
its only 100 or so words bigger

That's a shame but it was worth a try.

Thank you very much for the pointers and help. It's been a fun experiment and I've learned a lot.

Cheerful regards, Mike

ditto
and I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with asm psect labels

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the fix on the single char problem, it works well but I've found another problem...

When I add DT Ints the big characters don't work, I tried with and without using mssp but same result.

Also there's something strange taking place with the led backlight insomuch as I need to sprinkle port pin enable code immediately following any lcd write (with or without DT Ints). I tried changing LCD_LIGHT from A.0 to A.1 (while leaving it connected to A.0) with no difference - does the Inc file employ any commands for the light?

Here's the edited code:

Code:

#CONFIG ; 16F1847.
