Using Nokia LCD

[astanapane]

i would like to mention also that the nokia LCD i have is the nokia 5110 which does not have the Vout pin. (if that helps)

Seems you're out of codespace... choose another PIC (like PIC16F877) and see if this compile.

ok i will try later in the afternoon. But i just included the 3310.inc file and i just used @ print command. The 3310 took all the space from the pic?

is there any way to eliminate the 3310.inc and just take small bits from it in order to use only the @ print command.

My goal is to use it for the RFID tag number. I have done it with 2x16 lcd very simple with uLCD from 4D systems and now i would like to use Nokia lcd because is inexpensive compare to uLCD.

Your PIC cannot use READCODE command.

READCODE: Some PIC16Fxxx and PIC18Xxxxx devices allow program code to be read at run-time. This may be useful for additional data storage or to verify the validity of the program code.

.MAC -file contains:

READCODE?TB macro Regin, Bitin, Bout
        MOVE?TB Regin, Bitin, EEADR
    clrf    EEADRH
        L?CALL  READCODE
        MOVE?AB Bout
    endm
READCODE_USED = 1

And if you check from PIC16F627A/628A/648A datasheet, there is no EEADRH register in the these PICs (reason for error). Therefore you cannot use Scalerobotics (Walter's) great addon (=@ PrintStr) as it is now.

Also other note about READCODE

For PIC16F devices, 14-bit-sized data can be read from word code space Addresses.

Addr  VAR WORD

Variable cannot be WORD.

Easiest is to change to some other PIC, which support READCODE (e.g 16F8/74A/76A etc...) and which have also more code space

Hi gusse,

thanks, so that means that i cannot use any of the pic16f628a or a small pic 12f629.

I have seen fratello that used the pic but he didnt use the READCODE command.

Not using a small pic for such a simple code is annoying.

I will try with a bigget pic.

In case i want to print the number of the RFID tag do i need the READCODE command to my program?

If i can avoid or use other method to print letter as a label like fratello did then i might be able to use a small pic.

Thanks all of you for helping. And really sorry for my questions again.

You can always use the old way to print LCD
Instead of

@ PrintStr  0,0, "HELLO"

use

PosX=0:PosY=0:Gosub Lcd_GotoXY
Lcd_Data = "H"   
Gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "E"   
Gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "L"   
Gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "L"   
Gosub Lcd_SendChar
Lcd_Data = "O"   
Gosub Lcd_SendChar

and remove "@ PrintStr" -part from LCD_3310 -file.

BR,

BTW, "Edit Post" time could be a little bit longer. Couple of hours would be OK. Any changes to get this changed?

[astanapane]

i will follow your suggestion. Because right now i'm at work i will try that in the afternoon.

thanks again. I will let you all know for my results.

[astanapane]

i tried to write simpler the code but seems that the pic doesnt work. I also tried with bigger pic.

thank you all for your help. Its me that i cannot make it.

thanks again for your time.
