LCD Interfacing and Programming Tutorials for Microcontrollers—Resource Compilation

I know a few people were asking about LCD interfacing with micros the other day so I did some searching for information My computer must be suffering from encyclopedia Britannica over flow when it comes to information

So I’ve dug some notes out for you with past issues of downloaded magazine contents
Low and behold I found some excellent Tuts on LCD Interfacing and programming

Hope this helps all of you including the poor old masters degree electrical student who spent three years age 21 studying and completing his masters degree and somehow didn’t learn how to use google (Truly Amazing , that’s got to be the best lie They ever told)

I wonder if he writes Enid Blyton bedtime stories perhaps he should change his career

Hi Mark,
Many thanks for those, I am going to find them quite useful, as I am currently in the nursery school stages of playing with Picaxes, and I have the aim of one day building a digital voltmeter with exactly that kind of LCD display.

If you should come across any other similarly useful items, they will also be most weclome.
All the best,
Frank.

Though as much frank

If you need a prelimary starter let me know I can help you with this Ive done quite a bit of this before inclusive alarm projects

The experimenatl LCD is an ideal way to start with just switches so you can see how you clock data in and out very good starting poing for this so as to understand hardware consepts and the different registers CGRAM , 4 bit addressing , 8 bit addressing , plus the various commands etc

Might be a good idea to make up a PCB with just this

Shout if you need help with this

Here are some other links in the meantime connected to raspberry PI Could quite good this especially with networking

With Python

With Java

Port sensing

Controlling Pi from Mobile Phone encouraging applications in the android area for higher level students or using other langauges with older phones J2ME for example not that this cant be done btw PC and mobile phone via serial port

You could possibly use this to display messages on a LCD as well a bit of lateral thinking
