| LCD HD44780 PCF8574T i2c Driver |
 Posted: Thu Dec 12, 2013 9:09 pm |

Hello Hugo, PCM and ...others:
I have a big problem with this I2C LCD driver posted here, and it is that my PCF8574T LCD has different connection pin-out.
I want to change it in the code from:
// PCF8574P LCD
// ======== ======
// P0 Enable
// P1 RS
// P2 RW
// P3 No connect
// P4 D4
// P5 D5
// P6 D6
// P7 D7
To:
// PCF8574T LCD
// ======== ======
// P0 > D4
// P1 > D5
// P2 > D6
// P3 > D7
// P4 > ENABLE
// P5 > RW
// P6 > RS
// P7 > Not connected
I'll appreciate your help defining this new pin-out distribution in the code explained above by Hugo and maybe PCM can write a new generic Flex_i2c_LCD 20x4 and 20x2 for all of us :-)
Thanks in advance. |

When you are using the same command fifteen times, it may well be a case of 'better to loop'.  |
I'm getting Compiler erors with the "\" in the array above, but I don't understand why?
*** Error 1 "D:\CCS PICC Projects\Tests\I2C_FLEX_LCD\i2c_Flex_LCD.h" Line 121(16,18): Illegal C character in input file 0x2F after \

My compiler version is 5.026. I'm testing with a 16F882.

Move the line continuation backslashes so they are after the comments
on each line. And change 'cont' to const. |

and add a close paren after sizeof(init_data) <== in the For line... :-)

Thanks for the replies. I have to admit that I 'panicked' in that right after I compiled, and got the errors, my wife informed me that WE were going shopping. Not knowing when we'd get back, I shot off that message, and I wasn't sure when we were getting back.
I had already changed the 'cont' to 'const' and added the needed ')'.
SO, now we are back home. All is good with the program.
It's been 5 or so years since I've done any (PIC) programming. I'm using a PIC16F882, for the time being. Looking in the 16F882 Header file, I see the list of 'Fuses'. I thought there used to be a 'List' or something that explained what the 'Fuses' pertained too. Like I have no clue what 'CFMEN' or 'IESO' mean. And, I'm looking at the Datasheet. Just trying to figure out what FUSES I need. CCS has changed the way the IDE looks and works (a LOT) sine the last time I remember using it!
Thanks again,
Duane |

Look in the PICC directory where the compiler is located for the Fuses.txt file
IESO Internal External Switch Over mode enabled
For the other I think you meant FCMEN which is Fail Safe Clock Monitor Enabled
If you have the IDE then click on Config Bits on the Toolbar
I think I read somewhere the fuses.txt file only comes with the IDE version.
I have always used the IDE so I don't know for sure.
Google can also find the info...

Like I said, it's been a while since I last programmed a PIC. IIRC there WAS a Wizard that, when starting a new project, that 'helped' you select the options you wanted and then created the first couple of lines of code. It included the correct .h file, set up things like the ADC bits, RS@#@ stuff, i2c stuff, and such. Does it still do that, that you know of?
I did find the 'fuses.txt' file and will use that in conjunction with the fuses listed in the .h file to figure out what I need.
Thanks for you help. |

The IDE still has the PIC Wizard that does a lot of the basic setup work for you....yes.
In the IDE go to File=>New=>Project Wizard
Be sure to include the NOLVP fuse if it is listed for your processor.

Both Drivers are working now... but I've modified and recompiled a third one... I will share it here for anyone who needs in future...after all.. I owe a lot to this forum...
It can control any compatible LCD HITACHI from a bus I2C with
an PCF8574T I/O expander.

I renamed it for "i2c_Flex_LCD.h"

Hi, I am working with a PIC24f16ka101 20pin DIP micro controller and the DFRobot I2C / TWI LCD1602 Module. After removing a couple fuses that simply don't exist for my micro I was able to compile the code and load my PIC. The back light goes on for my display but nothing else works.
I then realized my slave address was 0x20 so I changed that, and I changed the I2C pins to the correct ones for my PIC but it still does not work. I am pulling up the clock and data pins to 3V instead of 5V but the display says it should work anywhere from 2.7-11V so it should not be an issue. I feel like something is missing or different in the code for the display and/or processor I am using.
Could someone help me out? |

I 'googled' that lcd module, fist hit , was Wiki from dfrobot and ....Supply voltage: 5V !!!
I suspect that is your problem..
3 volt PIC, 5 volt LCD.. |

Can you post a link to:
1. The product page for this lcd.
2. The data sheet that gives specs on the i2c interface. I don't want the
data sheet for the HD44780 controller. I want the one that says the lcd
module works from 2.7 to 11v, and gives specs on the i2c interface that
DFRobot added to the lcd. |

i downloaded the schematic right from dfrobot.... and it clearly shows the LCD module/I2C chip being fed from VCC , which is 5 volts. There are 2 'logic level' translators on the I2C bus lines though, which would allow a 3V micro to communicate with the 5 volt LCD unit.
Now you 'might' be able to run a 3 volt LCD module IF the PCF chip will run at 3 volts....

| You are right, the 3-11V was for the LCD back-light and the LCD itself can run from 2.7 to 5.5V (From http://www.dfrobot.com/image/data/TOY0046/HD44780.pdf). Strangely they post the data sheet for the LCD module only and not for the i2C module, for that they just post a schematic. There is no indication on whether it can handle 3V. It is terrible that they don't have a data sheet for their own product. |

The order page for the module, says:
"3.2" LCD display; White character on Blue background; Supply voltage: 5V; I2C Address: 0x27".....
The core LCD controller can run from 2.7 to 5.5v, but the complete module is specified to use 5v.....
There are three different revisions of these units, and all say 5v somewhere. |
