XLCD with PIC18f452

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have been trying to interface 16x2 lcd but failing. I am new to MPLAB so its sort of frustrating. I searched various forums so it came to my knowledge that xc8 has plib so i can use xlcd.h for my intentions.

Now the problem is the program compiles fine. But there is nothing on lcd and not even the lcd pins toggle. I added PORTC toggle to see if my code is working and it was. Onlything that is not working is LCD.

After changing the PIN configuration in xlcd.h i included it in project also pic18f452.h and recompiled and there was success building it too. Please see the code and proteus image to help me out.
xlcd.h
Code:
#ifndef __XLCD_H
#define __XLCD_H
#include "p18cxxx.h"
/* PIC18 XLCD peripheral routines.
 *
 *   Notes:
 *      - These libraries routines are written to support the
 *        Hitachi HD44780 LCD controller.
 *      - The user must define the following items:
 *          - The LCD interface type (4- or 8-bits)
 *          - If 4-bit mode
 *              - whether using the upper or lower nibble
 *          - The data port
 *              - The tris register for data port
 *              - The control signal ports and pins
 *              - The control signal port tris and pins
 *          - The user must provide three delay routines:
 *              - DelayFor18TCY() provides a 18 Tcy delay
 *              - DelayPORXLCD() provides at least 15ms delay
 *              - DelayXLCD() provides at least 5ms delay

Hi,

Have you got through the part where the LCD shows its cursor first? Or are you just using it straightforward without going through the tutorials?

If not, then this tutorial is excellent before you start using libraries.

Cheers.

The only way I can use the XLD library is to copy and paste the source code AND header into MY working directory.. For some reason ( and don't know why ) the #define 8BITS... never gets defined..... So the library never works....
 
can you share your working project?

I also observed in MPLAB X Ide that when i simulate the code step by step the program gets halt at OpenXLCD(FOUR_BIT & LINES_5X7); i do not know why even that i have done
#define FOUR_BIT 0b00101100 /* 4-bit Interface */
#define LINES_5X7 0b00111000 /* 5x7 characters, multiple line */

Also i thought it may be havint trouble navagiting to openxlcd so in included its c file but then gives compile time error that no rule to make openxlcd.p1 etc

i am confused
 
Make a new C file and chuck all the routines in it... Then the header will work as well..

Put both these in the working directory..

Oh dear... You have moved onto the XC8 compiler.... The code posted was originally targeted to the C18..


I have given you C18 code..... I'll have a go at it tonight... I'll post a library that works with XC8...

I tried to work this library on C18 but still does not work :p i suppose things are against me
 
Hi,

Hope I'm not hijacking the thread. Had several attempts at getting XLCD working without success. Always had trouble with file locations, like the OP.

Followed Ian's suggestions about creating one 'C' file with all the functions in it and finally have had success.

LCD and PIC18f452

Hello there
After getting frustrated for nearly two weeks with xlcd i found a library for lcd. Even with the help https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/xlcd-with-pic18f452.134227/#post1124166 here i could not make it work The problem was that the output never showed up on LCD in proteus. The pins toggled but no output also the pin no 4 of LCD always remained 0.

Now the funny part is that with this library that i have found i get the desiplay at Proteus but not in real hardware. The hardware is tested by the example written in MikroC. If a MikroC example can make it work why not C18?

Also i noticed that with the attached library the when circuit is powered off the lcd gets initilized because the top row of boxes vanish. I have few brand new LCDs and tested to make sure there is nothing wrong with the hardware. I cant figure out where i am not doing it the way it should be.

It would be a great help if someone can give me their working 4-bit code
 
Still not working

Here is attached files for LCD test and it is still not working. If you notice the 4th bit does not toggles. Why is that?

It does not show anything on LCD. Proteus file attached with source codes
