LCD 16x1

#1 Post by Pires » 24 May 2005 01:55

I am recovering old scientific apparel that it uses LCD 16x1 and I don't know as programming to use same LCD 16x1. The mikropascal only accepts LCD 16x2. How can I program for use of LCD 16x1?

Thanks

If it's an HD44780, it should work. Try it.
If you know what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

Yes LCD is compatible with 44780. I proved that making him to work with other programmed PIC with program written specifically for 16x1 and it worked a lot
well. I don't just get to put in operation with programmed routine in Pascal.

Is there any command for me to send to LCD and to be recognized as 16x1?
Are the connections of PIC 16F877 with LCD the same ones what consist in the examples of MikroPascal?

There is nothing special to setup apart from that what is written in help. Your display will even aceept commands to switch to the second line.

It will work fine with mP libraries, use the examples provided to test it.

I am still with problem in using LCD 16x1 with Pascal routines.
Which modifications in Hardware and Software that I have to do to use LCD 16x2 and LCD 16 x1?

Thanks

You do not need to change anything in software. However, you should check your LCD connections and use LCD_Config in a proper way. See help for details and schematics.
