[SOLVED] wait time to do instruction

hi

who can say what time I must wait to lcd run the instruction please?
...and send other data?


and I must make my shape and write it in CGRAM to show on lcd?
how can I?i mean what instructions I must send?


thanks

oh sorry I forget! I use 8 bit LCD!

Hi,

Good answer for you timing problem is here;
**broken link removed**

Good sample (in mplab assembly)
PIC Tutorial  Three - LCD Modules

Hope this helps you.

if you read the data sheet it clearly gives the time for every command .... its usually varies between 100 to 200msecs,,but its specific to specific manufacturers... it makes no difference to lcd if you use it as 8 bit or 4 bit mode.... download lcd12.pdf you find your answer or get datasheet from manufacturer of lcd for excat timing issues

thanks!

I how time I must wait but I expriment little times and it answer!I mean instead (for example) 100ms wait!I wait 20ms!
or instead 5ms I wait 500us!
may it give me a problem!

I wanna show TMR0 value on LCD! 8 bit LCD!
but I don't know how to do it!
this is my code!

movf TMR0,0
call LCD_CHR ;show character on LCD

I wanna show numberial value!can you help me please?

Hi,

You should only wait in LCD-Initializing step. (using delay routines)

After that, when you write something on LCD, you can check Busy-Flag of LCD. Before issuing LCD-instruction you keep checking it until it's Not-busy.

This will ensure correct operation. Your experiment is good; but we can't expect it works that way always.

Hi friend

I wanna show TMR0 value on LCD! 8 bit LCD!
but I don't know how to do it!

For timer value display on LCD,
First of all, Initialize LCD

My Code for initialize LCD is below
void init_lcd(void)
{
RS = 0;
lcd_data = 0x38;
EN = 1;
EN = 0;
wait_lcd();

RS = 0;
lcd_data = 0x0C;
EN = 1;
EN = 0;
wait_lcd();

RS = 0;
lcd_data = 0x06;
EN = 1;
EN = 0;
wait_lcd();
}

Then Clear LCD Memory
My Code for that is below

void clear_lcd(void)
{
RS = 0;
lcd_data = 0x01;
EN = 1;
EN = 0;
wait_lcd();
}

Then send Address for where you display character on LCD(Keep RS = 0)
Then send ASCII Value for your Character, which is you want display on LCD( Keep RS = 1)

Here,
RS and EN are two pin of LCD which must be connected with Micro controller.

Hope This is help you

thanks! but TMR0 value is hex! I wanna convert it to ask or decimal!
what instruction must I use?

Hi,

Yes, First you need to convert TIMR0 value to Decimal. Since you timer is 8bit there will be 3 digits which may store at 3 separate registers. Then you can write them on LCD.

To convert binary to Decimal, using assembly is bit difficult. You can write the code with C compiler and convert it to assembly.

YOU CANNOT SHOW TIMER values in lcd as timer increments in microseconds........

DONT KNOW WHAT OTHERS ARE EXPLAINING OR I HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD YOUR REQUIREMENT......

Hi

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I wanna show timer on LCD!but it's source is RA4!
you can't understand my mean?
well!!!!sorry my english is not good!

times is not increasment as I wanna show it on LCD!this is simple! any way! I wanna show 65 on LCD not a! how can I do it!

Hi vishy71,

If timer increment is faster than LCD writing speed, all the values in timer-register can not be written on LCD.

Your clock source is RA4 means external-clock pulse. Is it ?

Basic problem you have is, How to display register value (binary format) on LCD (as decimal digits) ?
If you use C, it would be very easy as follows

unsigned char i; //Decimal-place counter
unsigned char deci_d[3];//array for decimal-digits
unsigned int value; //value to be converted (8bit)

void main()
{

for (i=0; i<3; i++) //for 3 digits
{
deci_d= value % 10; // get mod of 10
value=value /10; // value div by 10
}

}

deci_d array will have ones, tens, hundreds. These should be converted to ASCII letters then can be shown on LCD.

Does this solve your problem ?

Hi friend

I wanna show 65 on LCD not a! how can I do it!

Click to expand...

for show 65 on LCD,
My code is below in C language,

/**************************************/

unsigned int Value = 65;
unsigned char TempA = 0, TempB = 0;

TempA = Value / 10; //Here TempA = 6
TempA += 0x30; //Here 6 Converted in ASCII Value of 6

TempB = Value % 10; //Here TempB = 5
TempB += 0x30; //Here 5 Converted in ASCII Value of 5

Then Send TempA and TempB variable to LCD for display 65 on LCD

Hope this is help you

ohhhhhhh thaaaaaaaaanks!

but friends can you convert this codes to assembly please? because I work with MPLAB assembly!

Basic problem you have is, How to display register value (binary format) on LCD (as decimal digits) ?
yes this is my problem!also convert HEX to ASC to show on LCD!for example I wanna show the result of Ulterasonic on LCD!
at the end let me say in this way:
I wanna show NUMBER on LCD!NUMBER is in the varibale!for example I wanna show the value of x register on LCD but numberial not Binary or HEX or ASK!number!
and I wanna do this in assembly language!

thanks for all

Hi,

You may write above code in micro-c (set project details based on your PIC circuit). After you build it you can "view" assembly code there.
Also you may download a tool for asmtranslator; fed the generated lst to it and convert to mplab compatible assembly code. You have to carefully go through it to find variables. Then insert it to your code.

wish you success !

Hi
thanks! I try it before but It'ssssssssssssss really hard!

processor p16f84a
include <p16f84a.inc>
__config _XT_OSC & _CP_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _WDT_OFF

Ok,

You can check this method, (i have not tried it yet)
8bit to extract decimal 1's, 10's, 100's

Hope this will help you,
