Hello and first question. Anshan Yes YM162-04 LCD

Greetings everyone,

After deciding to dive in to the world of Basic Stamp, projects that
were in my mind and seem impossible suddenly became a
possibility... [noparse]:)[/noparse] Being a mechanical engineer, I always felt the
lack of, I would say finish, on my projects since things dont move
with out a brain. Stamp is a nice way to get things going since I do
not need to learn complicated computer languages.

Anyways let me get to the question without boring you to death. I am
working on a project where I want to information recieved to be
dumped to the LCD, well first I need to get it hooked up [noparse];)[/noparse]

I bought an Anshan Yes Lcd 2x16 1/16 duty 1/5 bias (what that means I
have no clue) I found their web site (web ferret finds everything)
and I still can not figure out what this thing is. they have given
the outputs and I am just speculating which ones are whick since they
are not labeled.

And can someone tell me how I can understand if this thing has a
driver on it or not.

I know, I know, I should just go and get the lcd that works [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Pleasure to be apart of the stamp world [noparse];)[/noparse]

Cheers everyone.

Serdar "Toughbeard" Aytemiz

    Assuming this is an HD44780 based display, there are examples on how to make
    it work on Parallax's site, and I also have a few examples at
    http://www.lennard.net.nz/ (click on circuit ideas, then under displays
    click on "How to drive an Hitachi HD44780 based LCD display").

    cheers,

    Ben, Wellington. New Zealand.

    That actually is my main problem. How do I know it is HD44780 based
    or not? I have visited the site earlier and it is a jewel of
    information [noparse]:)[/noparse] I did how ever figured out the pin outs of the lcd (I
    hope) I ll probably give it a joy ride see if it blows up [noparse]:p[/noparse]

    Does it have a 14 pin connector?

    If so, it is likely it is a HD44780 based LCD display, and will therefore
    follow the standard pinouts as mentioned in the url theat - opps soory -er
    sorry - I mean that the url that my web page points to mentions (a little
    too much Export Gold tonight... effecting typing... *HIC!*).

    rightho then...

    OK,

    Sounds li9ke it is a HD44780 based display. BTW: 9 = error - opps...

    I'd check out the following url before you apply any power:

    http://home.iae.nl/users/pouweha/lcd/lcd0.shtml

    It was the first url I visited in order to get me going with my 2 x 20
    display...

    Proved very useful (which is why I've linke dit in my web page...)

    *HIC!*

    Ben, Werrington, New Sheeeeeealand.

    BTW: Turkish cofferre ish darn good stuff man!

    Serdar,

    I have some LCD displays with 16 pins as well, and
    they too use 15 and 16 for LED Backlight. Mine are
    labeled Datavision DV-16252-11 S2FBLY and they also
    have P191-2 on the back. Anyway, they too follow the
    standard Hitachi controller outputs:

    1 - Vss (GND)
    2 - Vcc (+5VDC)
    3 - Vee (LCD Contrast/can connect to GND)
    4 - RS (Register Select)
    5 - R/W (Read/Write)
    6 - E (Enable/Active High)
    7 - DB0
    8 - DB1
    9 - DB2
    10- DB3
    11- DB4
    12- DB5
    13- DB6
    14- DB7
    15- BL+
    16- BL-

    On mine, connecting the BL- pin to ground and the BL+
    to Vcc through a 10 ohm resistor satisfies the
    Backlight's needs. I usually connect this through a
    transistor and then I can control the Backlight with
    an I/O pin through a 1K resistor into the NPN
    Transitor. Hope this info helps.

    Chris,

    Thanks for the info, last night I managed to get it to work. Yes
    just like you said it is compatible with the hitachi. I used the
    code and schematics that were in the lcd character creator by
    parallax.

    I havent been successful yet with the control of the backlight yet.
    At the moment I just yank the plug out LOL. But thank you,and
    everyone else who helped very much

    Serdar

    No problem! =)

    > At the moment I just yank the plug out LOL. But

    Okay, well let me see if I can help you real quick...
    Pin 15 (BL+) connects to a 10 ohm resistor, the other
    end to the +5VDC line. Pin 16 (BL-) connects to a 10
    ohm resistor, the other end goes to the collector of a
    2N2222 or similiar NPN transitor, the emitter of the
    transistor goes to ground. The base of the transistor
    goes through a 1K resistor to a pin on the stamp.
    When that pin is high the LCD backlight is on. When
    the pin is low it's off. I don't do real good ascii
    schematics, but if you want I will try.
