If the text exceeds 16 characters, the remaining text automatically accommodates in the second line. The serial LCD module communicates on standard baud rate, which is compatible with all microcontrollers. It uses no-xtal bootloader which provides Arduino compatibility without 16MHz external crystal. Using 8MHz internal oscillator reduces hardware and improves power efficiency.
IC1 uses its serial port to communicate with the main controller Arduino Uno in this case. It acts as a bridge between the main controller and the LCD. The supply to the module is provided by the Arduino Uno itself as shown in Fig.
Arduino Uno board. Arduino is an open source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It is intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Arduino Uno is a board based on ATmega microcontroller. It is operated with a 16MHz crystal oscillator and contains everything needed to support the microcontroller. It is very easy to use as the user simply needs to connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adaptor or battery to get started.
The microcontroller on the board is programmed using Arduino programming language and Arduino development environment. The software for the serial LCD module is written in Arduino programming language. Follow the steps below to burn the bootloader and the firmware in IC The fuse bits are 0xCA and 0xD4. Program lock bits as 0x0F so that the bootloader is not overwritten every time you flash new firmware.
Copy the provided code in Arduino IDE and select board as atmega8-noxal. Remove ATmega8 chip from the Uno board and place back the original microcontroller. Sketch is compatible with all these microcontrollers. For that, connect the board with the module as shown in Fig. You can use lcd. Assemble the circuit on the recommended PCB to minimise any assembly errors.
Since the hardware module is built in it becomes super-easy to use the internal UART which can use interrupts allowing fast and transparent operation. Ultimately both work fine and both look the same at the PC side. There are no 'odd' command sequences such as 0xef to define a command - you can type all commands at the terminal interface making it very easy to use i.
If you want to use it as a debugging terminal for your PIC projects then it makes sense to remove the level translator and just use the V input otherwise you would end up having two level translators for no real reason! Note: Using it like this you will need to invert the RS output data so you either need an inverter chip if driven from the built in USART or you can drive it using a software USART The transmitter part anyway since you will have full control over the output signal.
Serial LCD Specification. Your email is safe it will never be sold or rented. You will get All the C source code and hex file. Note: Check your email for the project code download link.
You can recompile the serial LCD files if you want examine code operation using the built in simulator or change the source code. Note the hex file is contained in the download. All commands are prefixed with the hash character ' '. In all cases except X and Y the single character following the ' ' causes a command to execute. For X and Y the decimal digits following up to 2 digits specify a position on the display. Note: for X and Y the top left position is at 0,0. To clear the display you would type: C To set the cursor to block mode type: B.
There must be at least two digits following the X or Y command unless the following command is not a digit. All this means is that you can finish an X or Y commands by typing a letter - if you type a digit the parser won't know if it is a digit to display or a digit to specify the position.
Here is a cursor positioning example command sequence:. You can also use the longer command: H X00JFM It does exactly the same thing but the cursor is immediately moved after the '00' since the command parser knows that it is the end of the X cursor position command as it only accepts 2 digits. These commands are valid:.
Note: to display a ' ' character enter it twice ' '. For a tutorial on compiling these files click here. When a serial input is detected the main program starts. All keys are now either text entry or commands.
An infinite loop keeps checking for key input. If the key is a hash symbol then the command is fetched using:. If it matches a valid command then the appropriate code is executed to control the LCD. These complementary functions are used in parsers this program is a very small parser where you need to look at the next character of the input to see if you want to continue.
If you don't i.
