Micro, I am unable to determine how to hook it up in 4 bit mode, to my Basic
Stamp Rev. D. I am also unable to figure out how to program the stamp so I
can write Characters to the LCD directly from the stamp. If anyone has this
LCD display, and knows how to run it, I would appriciate some help with it.
The LCD is run by a HD44780 controller by Hitachi.

thing I can come up with is that because the display is a different size,
the programming is different?

information for how to reset the display using the reset
by instruction method, which is basically sending the reset
character to the LCD display 3 times with at least 10ms delay
between. You will HAVE to use the 2-line mode in your function
set command. The main problem I had was that I had to supply
a negative voltage for contrast before I could see anything
on the display. For a while I thought the display wasn't working.
I am presently still working with some HD44780 based LCD modules
being controlled from the stamp via a palm pilot.
I have the complete spec sheet for the HD44780 in pdf format.
If you like, I can e-mail it to you. Here are my connections:
Stamp LCD
=========================================
Port0 Data Bit 4 Pin 11
Port1 Data Bit 5 Pin 12
Port2 Data Bit 6 Pin 13
Port3 Data Bit 7 Pin 14
Port4 Register select (RS) Pin 4
Port5 Read/Write (RW) Pin 5
Port6 Enable Pin 6
+5vdc Pin 1
GND Pin 2
Contrast voltage Pin 3
If you still have problems or questions, feel free to contact me.

know what, save yourself a lot of trouble and convert that lcd to serial.
got www.elabinc.com and get their ede 702
its $9 us and get a 4 mhz resonator with internal capacitors $.25
alls you have to do is make the circuit board, very easy, I have three of
these ede702 and they are great, they work. I just put one on my 4X20 lcd.
when you get it in the mail you will get a schematic for how its hooked up
with the lcd and there is a bs1 example program but I have a bs2 sample
program.... let me give it to you now.. its really really easy and only uses
***1*** IO.
LCD CON 7 ' defining the io to use on the stamp to transfer data to the ede
702
N9600 CON 84 ' this number i derived from the stamp manual, just depends how
you set pin 1-2 on the EDE702
i have them both set high for standard and 9600 baud
or you can set the low for inverted and 2400 baud
PAUSE 500
BEGIN:
Serout lcd, n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]$FE] '(direct lcd control through ede702)
'serout 7, n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]%11111101] (this sets the 1 digital pin on the mc to high
which you can use to turn on your lcd backlight)
serout lcd, n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]$01] ('Clears page and cursor goes to line 1 (home)
pause 50
serout lcd, n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]"TEST LINE 1"]
pause 50
serout lcd,n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]$FE]
serout lcd,n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]$C0] 'Takes cursor to beginning of line 2
pause 50
serout lcd, n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]"TEST LINE 2"]
pause 50
serout lcd,n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]$FE]
serout lcd,n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]$94] 'Takes cursor to beginning of line 3 *** Not listed
in documentation with ede 702, I just tinkered
'for a bit and came up with it
pause 50
serout lcd, n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]"TEST LINE 3"]
pause 50
serout lcd,n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]$FE]
serout lcd,n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]$D4] 'Takes cursor to beginning of line 4 *** not listed
in ede 702 documentation.
PAUSE 50
serout lcd, n9600,[noparse][[/noparse]"TEST LINE 4"]
PAUSE 50
Experiment with the delays, you could probably make em 10ms, this code works
I just did it now.... the ede702 is the way to go.... if you have any
questions at all just ask. I had problems when I first tried hooking it up,
but now I know this product very well.
