Using Nokia LCD

[ScaleRobotics]

Ok, for some reason it works if you say DATA @10,some data here, then when you have gotten about half way through the eeprom, stop writting, then start writing again where you left off with DATA 128(or where ever you left off at),rest of your data here.

Don't know why you can't do it like you originally tried, but PBP does not seem to like it.

Thanks for repply ! I will try both variants.
With this :
DATA @110,$7E,$11,$11,$11,$7E,_ ' 65 A 22
$7F,$49,$49,$49,$36,_ ' 66 B 23
$3E,$41,$41,$41,$22,_ ' 67 C 24
$7F,$41,$41,$22,$1C,_ ' 68 D 25
$7F,$49,$49,$49,$41,_ ' 69 E 26
$7F,$09,$09,$09,$01,_ ' 70 F 27
$3E,$41,$49,$49,$7A,_ ' 71 G 28 etc,etc...
I have another 25 characters ...enough for me. THANK YOU !

This is final version. I try to implement the function of clock (like this : http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...ght=clock+code ) but, even the code works verry, verry fine alone, I can't put together with my thermo....If somebody can do this...All the best !

[fratello]

Hello ! Me again... Using PIC 16F628 (or A) with 4 MHz X-tal, one DS18B20 on port RA1, push-button for setting Hours on RB3 and for setting Minutes on RB2, I wrote the code for this thermo_clock. Works verry fine ! All the best !

Good to hear Bill.

But what is the problem with 16f's? Mine compiles without errors for a 16f876a, if I change the ports to match. But I don't have a way to test it here.

Hi Walter,

Making the appropriate changes per chip (cmcon, adcon, etc.) and my same code with the same INC file as compiles correctly with the 18F252, I have no luck with a 16F648A or 16F876A.

I thought the INC font string may have been too long also so shortened it to about half its size but no difference. Here is what I get...

With a 16F648A:
Error[113] e:\wjs\pbp260\pbppic14.lib 449 : Symbol not previously defined [EEADRH]
Message[303] e:\wjs\pbp\NOD157~1.ASM 185 : Program word too large. Truncated to core size. (4920)
too many errors

With a 16F876A there are 20 lines of:
Message[303] e:\wjs\pbp\NOD157~1.ASM 187 : Program word too large. Truncated to core size. (4920)

Does this give you any ideas where my problem with 16F's is? What are the chip requirements for using this macro - codespace, ram size, etc,?

Thanks and regards,
Bill

Hi,could you please send me hex code an schematic for me, my email [email protected] many thanks.

(I see this thread is quite inactive, maybe that means there is another more active ??)

I am trying out Steves code for driving a 5110 screen (bought here http://dx.com/p/arduino-1-6-lcd-disp...-silver-140226 )
It works very well, except for one of his examples. In the more complex example called 'USINGGLCDOUT_CMD_16F---' I get an error during compiling, and I've tried a few tricks but nothing has got passed it (I modified it for a 16F819, but other than the pic specific configs and the pins I chose use nothing else is changed).

Here it is.
PICBASIC PRO(TM) Compiler 3.0.1.4, (c) 1998, 2011 microEngineering Labs, Inc.
All Rights Reserved.
[ERROR] usingglcdout_cmd_16f819.pbp (57) : Reading DEFINE Block

it comes from this define I think (which works fine in the other less complex examples about using variables and constants).
DEFINE GLCD_2DEC_USED
INCLUDE "..\Include\GLCD_NOKIA.PBP" ' Plug the Nokia Driver/Wrapper in here

If I remark out the define I get this when I compile.
PICBASIC PRO(TM) Compiler 3.0.1.4, (c) 1998, 2011 microEngineering Labs, Inc.
All Rights Reserved.
[ASM ERROR] USINGGLCDOUT_CMD_16F819.ASM (562) : ERROR: (Seems you forgot to add DEFINE GLCD_2DEC_USED to your code...)
Which you'd expect.

I can post up the whole example code if anyone wants, but it's right out of Steve's examples.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with PBP3.

Anyone got a clue ?
Keeping in mind that his other examples compile and run fine, and I tried his code with and without my config and pin changes..

Hi Martin,

Did you receive an answer from Steve on this? Is there another thread?

Cheers,
Bill

@ mister_e

Steve,

Firstly thanks for all the hard work you put into making the Nokia 3310 Glcd a success. I've only recently discovered it and now use the library a lot.

May I ask for some advice on how to implement a change from only displaying dec characters to include hex? I've been through the samples and documentation but I don't see anything. Unfortunately I don't have an asm skills yet.

If this has been achieved by other users or appears elsewhere I'd appreciate some guidance. No rush.

Kind regards,
Bill

Old thread ... but nice !
This is my last soft & hard for interfacing with Nokia display : termo-clock.
Enjoy !

Hi Bill,

After looking at it and testing for a while, there was an error in most of my early includes files. I learned about the jumpover a little late. I compensated for this in my example programs, but it made it harder for others to use.

For instance, in your LCD_3310v32.inc file, please change goto Start to goto OverLCD

and at the very bottom of this include file, add this line: OverLCD:

This fixed your code for me.

Edit: and you should have _j or any other variable, but not _Variable as your variable. _Variable is used in the macro to get your variable. So use: PrintVar x,x, _j or something.

Hi Walter,

That did the trick, thank you! Now if we can only get it to work on 16F chips... any takers?

Regards to all,
Bill
