I'm in big trouble
PostPosted: Thu Jul 16, 2009 11:27 pm     Reply with quote

Hi I am new to this whole world of microcontrollers and is the first time as I write English, and will not use a translator. My next concern is to buy an LCD VT162B / B alleged that his mind was consistent with S6A0069. Well I had problems with compatibility with many LCD and tried lcd driver of this page and other pages to be run my lcd where I worked and still does not work for me. After almost losing hope that I had asked to help the store where purchased and they sent me a file and datasheets of this model (do not accept returns jijjii). Well they sent me a library that supposedly works with the LCD VT162B / B, which supposedly supports the CCS compiler. Well it compiles the file with the CCS program and I get a compiler error message with the following statement.
Code:

# byte PORTD = DataBus / / DEFINE DATA BUS
# byte Tris_DataBus = TRISD / / TRIS DEFINE DATA BUS
# byte PORTE = ControlBus / / DEFINE CONTROL BUS
# byte = Tris_ControlBus TRIS / / TRIS DEFINE THE BUS CONTROL

I am using the CCS compiler 4.08 and pic16f874A do not know if the seller sent me a code for any street internet please help me thank you for your understanding. I am a newbie and I need to work for a school project.
PS Here's the code that sent me to the store if your use the LCD file without leaving the error would be grateful if you send me some examples:

1. Post a list of the connections between the PIC pins and the LCD pins.

2. Also post a description of the contrast circuit that you have connected
to pin 3 of the LCD. Measure the voltage on pin 3 with a voltmeter.
What is it ?

3. Post if you have connected Ground to pin 1 of the LCD, and +5v to
pin 2 of the LCD.

4. Have ever made this PIC board do anything, such as blink an LED ?
Do you know that the PIC is working ?

Hello

I should mention that the program gave me a person of the company or manufacturer vtronic representative of this model LCD VT162B. This unique code is not found on the internet, so I told the man. yours can serve those who use this model of LCD and have compatibility problems.
1) that connect the pins as follows.
LCD PIC
D0-7 PORD / / Busdata
RS, RW and E  PORTE / / I m not specific to the individual company. In any case it is the buscontrol.

2) I had problem to run it. I have not had positive results.
This is the page where the information leaves the LCD datasheet:

http://rapidshare.com/files/256862751/vt162C_v1.0.pdf.html

I used to prove the Proteus and so I have an armed protoboard without result.
That is the connection to a potentiometer voltage V0.

Vdd ---- / \ / \ / \ / \ ---- V0--- / \ / \ / \ ---- Vss / /

3) use the connection scheme of the page:

http://www.vtronic.com.cn/products/images/VT162B-B.pdf

4) no signs of life through programs such as simulation proteus.
I do not work as described by the error comes at the beginning of the forum.
Problems with TRIS and PORT Sad .

Sincerely thanks.

You did not answer the questions with enough information.

1. Post the exact pin to pin connections between the PIC and the LCD.
Give the pin numbers for each connection.


2. Measure the voltage on the V0 pin on the LCD. What is it ?

1) VO LCD pin 3 which governs the contrast.
VDD voltage at pin 2 positive lcd. vss negative voltage pin 1 on the lcd.
In summary
LCD PINS-------------------------------------------------micro controller pins
1 VSS Power ground --------------------------------------------- -
2 VDD Power supply ----------------------------------------- -
3 V0 Negative voltage for LCD driving ------------------------------------------------ -
4 RS Register selection input -------------------------------------------- RE2
5 R/W Read/write selection input ------------------------------------ RE1
6 E Enable signal input -------------------------------------------- RE0
7-14 DB0~DB7 Data bus -------------------------------------------- RB0-RB7 // según configuración de 4 o 8 bit
15 LED+A Led backlight anode

2) I give away with a variable resistance between 0 - 5 v V0 is the contrast of the LCD screen, as measured with the MultiTest delivery and the voltage in the range of 0 to 5v.

Try using the Flex LCD driver:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24661

Change the #define statements for the pins at the start of the Flex
driver code, to the pins shown below. This fits your hardware connections:
Code:

#define LCD_DB4   PIN_B4
#define LCD_DB5   PIN_B5
#define LCD_DB6   PIN_B6
#define LCD_DB7   PIN_B7

#define LCD_E     PIN_E0
#define LCD_RS    PIN_E2
#define LCD_RW    PIN_E1


Set the contrast voltage on pin V0 to be 0.5 volts.


Also, note that pins B6 and B7 are used by the ICD Debugger or
Programmer. After you have programmed the PIC, you need to
unplug the ICD connector from the PIC. The LCD and the ICD
can't share B6 and B7 at the same time.

It's easier if you use different pins than B6 and B7 for the LCD.
The Flex driver allows you to change the pins easily, after you
have changed the connections on your board.

Post your test program, that calls the Flex driver, and attempts to display
some text on the LCD.

Don't post the Flex driver, just post your test program. The program
should be very small, but complete, and it should be compilable with no
errors.

It should have the #include for the PIC, #fuses statement, #use delay(),
#include for the Flex driver, and main().

The semi-colon ; is blocking the program from entering the code inside
the braces. Remove it.


There is no way the program can "work fine" with that semi-colon in it.

Have you ever made your hardware PIC board run any program before ?
Have you made it blink an LED ?
Do you know that your hardware board works ?

I don't see a link to your Proteus schematic anymore. It looks like
you removed the link.

Do you have a crystal installed on your hardware board (with the
associated capacitors) ?

Do you have a pull-up resistor on the MCLR pin ?

Any of these things can make the board fail to work, if they are missing.

Sorry I am using a translator to write. You are a big help. Really. And I appreciate it Smile . What I meant is that the corrections requested but not yet working on lcd.
I do not know what can be Crying or Very sad
