    Program For Interfacing Of LCD Display System

    OBJECTIVE : To interface 16x2 LCD with 16f677a PIC microcontroller.

    REQUIREMENTS : MPLAB X IDE ,PICSIM LAB , Proteus Software.

    THEORY :
    LCD Stands for Liquid Crystal Display. It has ability to display numbers and
    characters. LCDs comes in different sizes and shapes. For this project, we have selected a
    16×2 character, alphanumeric LCD. It contains 2 rows of 16 character.

    LCD pin description:-

    The LCD display has 14 pins. the function of each pin is given in table no.1
    Table 1

    Pin Symbol I/O Description


    1 Vss -- Ground
    2 Vcc -- +5V power supply
    3 VEE -- Power supply to control contrast
    4 RS I RS=0 to select command register,
    RS=1 to select data register
    5 R/W I R/W=0 for write,
    R/W=1 for read
    6 E I/O Enable
    7 DB0 I/O The 8-bit data bus
    8 DB1 I/O The 8-bit data bus
    9 DB2 I/O The 8-bit data bus
    10 DB3 I/O The 8-bit data bus
    11 DB4 I/O The 8-bit data bus
    12 DB5 I/O The 8-bit data bus
    13 DB6 I/O The 8-bit data bus
    14 DB7 I/O The 8-bit data bus
    Table 2: LCD Command Codes

    Code(Hex) Command to LCD Instruction Register


    1 Clear display screen
    2 Return home
    3 Decrement cursor (shift cursor to left)
    4 Increment cursor (shift cursor to right)
    5 Shift display right
    6 Shift display left
    7 Display off, cursor off
    8 Display off, cursor on
    A Display on, cursor on
    C Display on, cursor off
    E Display on, cursor blinking
    F Display on, cursor blinking
    10 Shift cursor position to left
    14 Shift cursor position to right
    18 Shift the entire display to the left
    1C Shift the entire display to the right
    80 Force cursor to beginning of 1st line
    C0 Force cursor to beginning of 2nd line
    38 2 lines and 5x7 matrix
    Steps :

    One must configure the data bus 4-bit or 8-bit.

    Clear the LCD module.

    RS line must be low while sending any command.

    To turn on LCD module and the cursor.

    To clear the LCD screen, then command is “clear screen”.

    To set cursor position at any desired position, then command is “set cursor position”.

    For writing the data, set lines EN and RS.

    Setting Rs to 1will tell that the data being sent is a text data. The data is loaded on the
    data bus

    and enline is cleared to display the text.

    EN line is must go from high to low for the execution of the LCD operation.
    PROGRAM :
    // CONFIG
    #pragma config FOSC = HS // Oscillator Selection bits (HS
    oscillator)
    #pragma config WDTE = OFF // Watchdog Timer Enable bit (WDT
    disabled)
    #pragma config PWRTE = OFF // Power-up Timer Enable bit (PWRT
    disabled)
    #pragma config BOREN = OFF // Brown-out Reset Enable bit (BOR
    disabled)
    #pragma config LVP = OFF // Low-Voltage (Single-Supply) In-
    Circuit Serial Programming Enable bit (RB3 is digital I/O, HV on
    MCLR must be used for programming)
    #pragma config CPD = OFF // Data EEPROM Memory Code
    Protection bit (Data EEPROM code protection off)
    #pragma config WRT = OFF // Flash Program Memory Write
    Enable bits (Write protection off; all program memory may be
    written to by EECON control)
    #pragma config CP = OFF // Flash Program Memory Code
    Protection bit (Code protection off)

    // #pragma config statements should precede project file includes.


    // Use project enums instead of #define for ON and OFF.

    #include <xc.h>
    #define en PORTEbits.RE1 //ENABLE BIT FOR LCD
    #define rs PORTEbits.RE2 //REGISTER SELECT BIT FOR LCD
    #define ldata PORTD //PORT FROM DATA TO BE SEND TO LCD
    void delay(unsigned int);

    void lcdcmd(unsigned char value)


    {
    ldata=value;
    rs=0; //SELECT COMMAND REGISTER
    en=1; //SEND HIGH PULSE TO LCD
    delay(10); //CALL DELAY
    en=0; // SEND LOW PULSE TO LCD
    }
    void lcddata(unsigned char value)
    {
    ldata=value;
    rs=1; //SELECT DATA REGISTER
    en=1; //SEND HIGH PUSE TO LCD
    delay(10); //CALL DELAY
    en=0; //SEND LOW PULSE TO LCD
    }
    void main()
    {
    TRISD=0; //CONFIGURE PORTD AS OUTPUT
    TRISE=0; //CONFIGURE PORTE AS OUTPUT
    //CONFIGURE PORTC AS OUTPUT
    delay(10);
    lcdcmd(0x38); //CONFIGURE 16X2 LCD DISPLAY
    delay(10);
    lcdcmd(0x0E); //DISPLAY ON ,CURSOR ON
    delay(10);
    lcdcmd(0x01); //CLEAR DISPLAY
    delay(10);
    lcdcmd(0x06); //ENTRY MODE
    delay(10);
    lcdcmd(0x84); //SELECT 4TH POSITION ON FIRST LINE OF 16X2
    DISPLAY
    delay(10);
    lcddata('W'); //SEND CHAR 'W'
    delay(10);
    lcddata('I'); //SEND CHAR 'I'
    delay(10);
    lcddata('T'); //SEND CHAR 'T'
    delay(10);
    }

    //DELAY SUBROUTINE
    void delay(unsigned int time)
    {
    unsigned int i,j;
    for(i=0;i<time;i++)
    for(j=0;j<1275;j++);
    }
    CONCLUSION :
    From this experiment we concluded that , programmed LED’s are vastly used for
    industrial as well as commercial applications.

    QUESTION :
    Q. What is use of busy flag in LCD?

    We use RS=0 to read the busy flag bit to see if the LCD is ready to receive information.
    The busy flag is D7, and can be read when R/W=1 and RS=0,as follows: if R/W=1,RS=0.
    When D7=1,the LED is busy taking care of internal operations and will not accept any new
    information .When D7=0, the LCD is ready to receive new information.
