LCD code is not working...

mikroc: not enough ram

Hi,

I am using CDM16216B LCD to interface with 16f72.But i didnt get anything on LCD.Please kindly reply me,my code is here.

working lcd contrast code

did you see the dark lcd characters if not please check your wiring.
and if your controller of your lcd is overheating stop the power supply because it may damage your lcd.

Thank you for the response.

I didnt get any characters as you mentioned(dark characters),only backlight is ON(it is looking bright).

i will give you the pin connections what i did,I have used 2.5ms delay to send the command.will this delay is sufficient or i have to increase the delay.and contrast voltage is sufficient?

Please reply me.

1 - gnd
2- - +5v
3 contrast - +3v
4 -reset (RA0)
5 - gnd
6 - Enable(RA1)
7,8,9,10 - no connection
11,12,13,14 - data(RC0-RC3)
15 - gnd

Hi,
1. Try and adjust LCD voltage (contrast) using a pot., a very common problem.
2. Check initiation of timer carefully again.
3. Where does the code go to from:

" call disp_ups "

2.5ms is not enough,try to code for lcd initilalization time(about 100ms) and then pls check if the wiring is not reverse
i mean some lcd are starting from 14.ground to 1 and so on...
but most of them have backlight at 15 and 16

Thanks for your points.

i will change the delay and LCD contrast,then get you back.Is it necessary to call lcd initialization when ever wnat to display a new character?or i can just call the display RAM address?

Can i use interrupt for LCD routine. i have doubt using interrrupt for LCD routine,
because it takes long time to come out of interrupt loop.correct me if i am wrong?

hai ,

if you using pic series then u can us compilers with full fledged mikroE softwares in three 1. using basic language 2. using python 3. using c programme(recomended ) download for the web site mikroC software through search google.com

Hi,
Long delays are only required for initial poweron settling and for the first few commands for init. As per one of the user Manuals, most of the commands require only 40usec. delay after init . Only two commands Clr Display and Return Home takes 1.64 msec. Enable pulse width is under one micro sec.and delay cycle time for two byte loading is only one usec. It is better to refer the User Manual of your display and trim delays as required.
Init is required only once on Poweron.

When i used 8 bit,my code is working properly,but my 4 bit code is not working.

i used the command for 4 bit interface is,

movlw 0x28
call disp_cmd

is any command s required before this command?Please help me.
