    What type of LCD? Serial? Parallel?

    The type that uses the Hitachi HD44780 or equivalent?

    If so, I have some code that will work fine.

    I have just purchased a couple of LCD dispalys from my local surplus
    store

    They are handy for experiements as they have a buzzer, bi colour led
    asnd SPDT switch on board
    Unfortunatley very little data was supplied and as I am new to stamps
    I am struggling

    The LCD has the following pin outs:-
    DB0, DB1, DB2, DB3, DB4, DB5, DB6, DB7, +5V, GROUND, ENABLE and
    REG/SEL

    Can anybody tell me what each pin does and supply some code to
    display some test text?

    Any help will be appreciated

    Cheers

    I am wanting to display on a LCD the Frequency generated by the stamp.
    Here's a sample what I have done, and am not able to display the Freqout.
    Not for sure what the "???????" should be.

    Thanks for any input..

    [font=Courier,Courier New]
    N9600 con $4054 ' Baudmode for 9600 bps inverted.

    I con 254 ' Instruction prefix value.

    CLR con 1 ' LCD clear-screen instruction.

    L1 con 128 ' Address of line 1,first character

    L2 con 192 ' Address of 1st char of 2nd line.

    start:

    serout 0,n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]I,CLR] ' Clear the LCD screen.

    serout 0,n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]I,L1,"Freq Out"] ' Move to line 1.

    start1:

    freqout 10,250,1000 'generates Freq out pin 10

    serout 0,n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]I,139,"??????"] 'want to display on LCD Freqout

    goto start1

    How many data lines does it have? If they are labeled 1-8 or 0-7 it is
    parallel.

    I checked the data sheet at

    http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/ee476/FinalProjects/s2000/winslow/r
    cm2034r.pdf

    And they say it is a 1 x 16 reflective TN LCD display with a parallel
    interface. Note on page 2 under pin assignments pin 7-14 are labeled
    DB0-DB7.

    Check the controller on the back of the LCD panel,... Several common controller chips are used, mostly the Hitachi 44780.
    If this is the case (it's using a Hitachi) then you might take a look for the propers pins (usually 14).

    You can send me a picture of the back of the LCD-panel so I can help you,... Mailto:h.luyten@hccnet.nl

    Hi Stampers,

    I have a big LCD display, about 150 x 43 mm view area. The board is 183 x 75 mm.
    The controler chip is a Hitachi HD61830A00, and there is a 20-pin connector.
    I think this must be a graphic display, with backlight (green-yellow background)
    I need to know the pinout of the connector to try this beautiful display. I've
    already played with little ones (1x20 and 2x16), but this one seems to be
    interesting.
    Can somebody help me ?

    Thanks

    Phil.

    I have an LCD display with a connector on one end that has 10 pins on
    it. They are on .100 centers. Their are 6 chips on the back of the
    unit that have 'HD44100' on them. Their is one number on the back of
    the unit marked 'Y0714153'. If anyone has an idea of how I might
    interface this with the stamp. I would appreciate it. Thanks A bunch.

    If you know what PINS are the DATA, RS, RW, ENABLE you can use an
    EDE702 Serial LCD Interface IC from JAMECO. I have used this Custom
    IC with a 20x4 LCD and it works fine even if it was designed for a
    16x2. More Interface info at:

    I am looking for a LCD display that has 8 digits and is no smaller
    than 1 inch tall but no larger than 2 inch tall. Can anybody point me
    to a source or manufacture so that I can buy a couple of these for a
    digital counter project?

    Thanks,

    Hello from France,


    A lot of devices are only equipped with LCD display and have no other possible
    output such serial, RC or pwm to transfer datas into a Stamp.

    Is there a way (hardware or software) to read and transfer the states of these
    segments directly into the Stamp ?

    No. Driving LCD segements actually takes a complex waveform. You would have
    to put an LCD driver between the Stamp and the LCD.

    i have the lcd character creator software. i am not sure how
    to use the char0 data info correctly.
    i also want the stamp to recognize when 2 pieces of software
    are trying to light the same square, and be able to have
    the stamp perform a task when this occurs.
    i am trying to make a space invader type game on

    You have to initialize the LCD for 2 line:

    LCDinit:
    PAUSE 500 'let theLCD settle
    OUTC = %0011 '8-bit mode
    PULSOUT E,1
    PAUSE 5
    PULSOUT E,1
    PULSOUT E,1
    OUTC = %0010 '4-bit mode
    PULSOUT E,1
    char = %00101000 '2-line mode <================

    char = %00001100 'disp on,crsr off,blind off
    GOSUB LCDcommand
    char = %00000110 'inc crsr,no disp shift
    GOSUB LCDcommand

    For using the second line:

    DDRAM con $80
    line2 con $40 'statring address of line 2

    char = DDRam + line2 'go to line 2

    continues in the middle of the text i wrote for the second line. All
    i need to know is how to make that next begin on the second line, and
    i dont think i need to put some that code that i got. Thanks

    Ben,

    LCD come in two main flavors, parallel and serial. Parallel displays use
    more pins and are harder to program, but they are dirt cheap, and can be had
    surplus for very little. Serial displays only use one pin, and are really
    easy to use, but are more expensive.

    If this is your first micro-controller, get a serial one if you can. They
    are great to have one laying around while doing projects, and only use one
    pin, perfect for debugging a device away from the computer and such.

    Let us know what LCD you get, and we can help with code.
