Assembler: please kick me in the right direction

[Demon]

By the tone of your reply, I take it that it's more than just correcting the command syntax and that the actual coding is affected as well...

Darn, this was the best example I had to manage an Optrex 51553 gLCD. I've scoured Google and found nothing for the SED1565 controller. I've checked out the links posted in here fo gLCDs, but they are all for other types of controllers.

That really sucks 'cause this LCD is really cool; white font over a blue backgound, with backlighting and touch screen. That, and the fact I have 5 on hand and just finally managed to assemble a PCB to receive the 0.5mm pitch flexible film connector.

Ok, I'll give it a try.

Darrel, you wouldn't happen to have a link to 8051 syntax? That would cut down on some research time and I'd be certain of looking at the proper code. I'd hate to convert all this wrong.

Should I convert to MPASM or PM? PM is supposed to be faster, but I don't know if it supports all the commands.

I've found a nice reference for 8051 here:
http://www.ece.umr.edu/computing/uni...e/tasking/asm/

Now I just have to figure if I need PM or MPASM...

This is reassuring:
"PM includes an 8051-style instruction set that is more intuitive than the Microchip mnemonics. For complete information on the PICmicro Macro Assembler, see the PM.TXT file on disk."

Crossing my fingers in hopes that I have enough information to convert this.

Thank you very much folks. I'm trying to convert the assembler as plan A, I might as well get my hands dirty. I knew I had to get back into asm, I just needed a good excuse.

8051 asm has CALL (generic), ACALL (absolute) and LCALL (long).

PM asm only has CALL and LCALL.

How would you convert the absolute calls from 8051? Can you just plunk it into a generic call and consider the job done?

Hi,

If your objective is to drive the
SED1565 controller, see my previous
post for the link to a Basic Stamp
code example.

If your objective is to learn assembly,
start with LEDs and buttons and then
add an Hitachi 44780 LCD Controller.

Best regards,


Luciano
