Parallel LCD with SX.

GRC

Hello All
I'm having trouble finding code/examples for using the SX with a parallel LCD.·Plenty of serial LCD out
there. Tryed Google and a search on the SX forum's search engine. Even tryed the SX List, and this seems
to be the only sample found

http://www.sxlist.com/techref/ubicom/lib/io/dev/lcd/4bitlcd_sx.htm

although I have my doubts this will work with the SX.

Has anyone hear had any luck with parallel LCDs.·
Any tips or ideas will help.

Thanks for reading
Gorodon

Why do you have doubts? Have you tried it? I have an SX/B program in the help file, and Al Williams' book on SX programming has LCD code in it.

Thanks for the reply Jon.· I'll give the code a try.· My doubts on the LCD code come from most of

examples are aimed toward the serial LCDs and not the parallel LCDs.· For the record, the reason

for a parallel LCD is I already have a few on hand that I'm "reusing" from previous·PIC projects.



Thanks again

Gordon,

Some people think that LCD example program is FOR a serial LCD. It's actually to MAKE a serial LCD from a standard parallel LCD module.

It is one of Jon's best example programs. Check it out.

Hi Gorodon,

Find attached a code for a parallel LCD that uses the 4-bit mode.

I hope it helps.
