If you really want it, it shouldn�t !!

Just to show you a couple of very good info regarding LCD control.
The project it is not an easy task for a begginer student. If I were you, I would
start dividing the task in small steps until I get and learn some skills before
to start measuring an analog value...

how to know the pin connection between 28pin PICF18 and LCD, I am using red picdem 2 plus. Because my PIC18F2620 has no portD, so I don't know which port and pin to use for LCD data line.
I use the lcd driver in this forum but my LCD still doesn't print any thing.
Please help me
THank you very much |

The Microchip PicDem2-Plus board has the four data lines for the LCD
hard wired to PIC pins RD0 to RD3. The three control lines are on
PIC pins RA1 to RA3. The LCD is really intended to work with a
40-pin PIC.
The PicDem2-Plus board has a jumper area to the right of the sockets,
with a line of holes for Ports A,B,C,D, and E. You could still use the
on-board LCD if you added four jumper wires in that area. You need
to choose some pins on your 18F2620 to use for the LCD data bus.
These pins could be on Port B or Port C. Then jumper them over to
the pads for Port D (D0 to D3). Then you need to change the #define
statements in the Flexible LCD driver, to specify the correct LCD data
bus pins, based upon how you connected the jumper wires.
It would maybe be easier just to use a 40-pin PIC. The PicDem2-Plus
comes with a 16F877 (4 MHz) and an 18F452. You could use one of
those instead of the 18F2620. |
