Hello Unregistered ,
Sorry I had a little time to check all suggestions, but if there's a timing issue, I have series of 16 APA102C leds connected to the same 1936, they are driven via SHIFTOUT and everything works...
totally agree, the LCD is kind of an old tech, but for an hobbyist it's a good learning tool. to clarify the baud rate turn around, just include this chart to figure it out. with each OSC...
Agree that MPLABX is a bit scarry but has all the tools to complete a task regarding C at least. You have MCC, Simulator, breakpoints etc. Basic does not give all these goodies. As for your LCD...
Oct 2 2025 update on 16F690 Backpack, new LCDINT pause to accomodate 28800,38400 baud rate for (Xtal = 20Mhz) #CONFIG __config _HS_OSC & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _CP_OFF &...
I did try MPLAB X a year ago and it's was a bitter chalenge comparing to what I'm used to do with PBP3,Picaxe, Positron
Regarding C, MPLABX is the one to try and sure the last. It includes also the MCC tool to setup any microcontroller with ease. Tried a couple of times C but i guess i am too old to change ... ...
correct order for display control PORTC = %00001110 ' %00001DCB Display on/off, cursor on/off, blink y/n
quick update for the Backpack code: High RS line should be remove to avoid random character on screen when booting. PORTC = %00000110 : High En : DelayUS 1 : Low En : DelayMS 1 ' Entry mode '...
as for C is considered, which IDE/Compiler you use or recommend
thanks for the advice, it's helping what to consider.
