can someone tell me why message are not scrolling continuously on LCD. whats wrong with code ?
 

Hi.
I couldn't spot any subroutine dedicated to scroll the displayed message. Would you tell me where you are sending command for scrolling?
Maybe you have to write command 18H after your message is displayed.
 

hello


do you want to scroll letter by letter or pixel by pixel ?
if think 0x18h LCD Cde is for letter shift .. (not sure, to confirm by other ?)


for pixel by pixel you must use the Char Police definition (5x7 or 6x8) and use a LCD with grafic access
like a Nokia 5110 or other to be able to change only a pixel not a complete char at each time.

i did a moving message of 32 cars ,pixel by pixel ,on a POV(HAPR) clock.
in asm MPLAB 16F876..
you can have a look on it to understand How To do it.

- Define what is your maximum length of message to display
- at what speed ? any second ?
- what is the resolution of one char (5x7 or 6x8 or ?) ?
-so you can define a elementary pixel clock wich is the base of the application
the main difficulty is the frontiere (limite) between 2 caracteres .. on pixel belong to the previous char, the following pixel belong to the next char

it is a very good subject to learn about algorytm and software.

I want scroll message ''VEAD'' continuously on LCD
 

I don't know 8051 MCU ( PIC only).

Are you able to acces a pixel of a char ?
Traditional LCD are mainly used char by char.
maybe trougth CGRAM of LCD, but CGRAM is limited in size
and used to redefine any char , not all of them..

I prefere to use Nokia LCD 3310 ,ie 8 lines of 16 cars (or Nokia 5110 6 lines of 14cars)
all char are defined inside the program memory area.
So the programm can acces at each collum witch buid one char = pixel position
and possible to shift from one pixel position to the next one.
 

Hello Genovator,
I wrote that command but my message ''vead" is not scrolling on lcd

Can you locate for me in your code where you written that command? I am not sure if pixel shift is available in a 16x2 LCD controller. Couldn't found it in datasheets though. But for char shift, try adding the following after line 26 in the code of post #1:

MOV A,#018H
ACALL COMNWRT
*Call for a delay and repeat the command.


Didn't tested, but it should work.

hello Allen
thank you for help I tried your code but same problem. now message repeating in only one time. message should be repeat continuously
 

I tested the 018H command in proteus in the same way I described in post #8. It works on simulation. Have you repeated the command after a specific interval of time? You have to write 018H every after 1 sec delay to scroll the message with a one sec interval.

Do you want someone to make the complete code for you? Its your task and you have to do it. We members will try to identify the problem for you, and can give you suggestions. Now as you see neither @Allen's, nor my codes have any infinite loops to repeat the scrolling, you can add it by yourself. All you have to do is do some magic on "HERE: AJMP HERE" loop. ;-)
 
The discussion is somehow confusing. It can be clearly read from LCD datasheets that the 0x18 shift command is shifting by one character position. So pixel shift as claimed in post #6 doesn't work.

pauljulfo suggested a way to implement pixel shift utilizing CGRAM, but it's way beyond the simple codes shown in this thread. Also it doesn't look so well on a character LCD display with its void between characters. But a good coding exercise though.

Like Genovator said....... if I gave you the complete solution on a silver plate, you would not be bothered to study and understand how the program works.

But still I think I have given you 99% of what you wanted. You just need to put 1% of effort on your part.
