Using Nokia LCD

[astanapane]

Thanks Steve,

i didnt have a time yesterday to play with, because i came back home from work and was very tired. Apart from that, during the day i will post the code. Actually i have post the code before. It is very simple. I just wanted to use the @ print command with pic16f628a.

Gusse said to use the traditional way to print a string but i didnt have a time to do it.

this is my code:

DEFINE OSC 4 
@ DEVICE pic16F628A, intOSC_osc_noclkout, WDT_OFF, PWRT_OFF, BOD_OFF, MCLR_ON
include "modedefs.bas"
include "3310.inc"

TRISB = %00011100        			'portB configuration  0=out 1=in
TRISA = %10100000        			'portA configuration
PortA = %11100000        
CMCON = 7                		
VRCON = 0                		
INTCON = 0                  		              

OPTION_REG=%00000111   					'weak pullups on, TMRO prescale = 256


start:

@ PrintStr  0,0, "I love being"
@ PrintStr  0,1, "able to print "
@ PrintStr  0,2, "so easily!"

goto start

The version of the INC file i use is the last one from that page.

Regards,

if you get the LCD, and you find the way, i will be much appreciated to see your work.

I just want to print somehow letters (or a small image as DATA) using any small pic like 16f628 or 16f88 or smaller.

My project is to print the value (number of the RFID TAG) using the nokia 5110 lcd.

I have done this project using 2x16 lcd and the uLCD 128x128 from 4D systems. That was easy because both of the displays have parallel and serial interfaces, and for 2x16 picbasicpro has a library for them.

You make a fast loop and this may cause dim display. Use a pause 1000 before goto start.

Also how about contrast adjustment of the LCD? Maybe it is set too dim to display something.

I have no LCD to test here, just guessing.

Hi Ioannis,

i will also check the contrast number and play with it.

thanks

Everything is plausible on any PIC, however, there's some more efficient way than other to handle Strings, and some better PIC to handle it. Oh well, It should be fun.

Steve,

i will try this weekend again everything i can do with compiling and checking the display.

When you receive yours you can also try out.

Which kind of Nokia did you order? 5110? http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10168

This kind of display does not have the Vop pin. Do i make any mistake on this stage?

How to connect display...

[mister_e]

I thought I would order that one but the other Canadian distributor I found don't have any in stock and couldn't tell me when he'll receive some more... too bad.

I found a place near who'll have the following in stock next week, I'll pick it directly at their shop.
