LCD Implementation in FRDM K64F

[rahul_eris]

Hi,

I am using frdm k64f board and KDS IDE for my project.

I need to implement LCD on it.  Either in 8 bit or 4 bit mode.

I cannot see any driver for lcd in KDS or KSDK.

So i wrote my own driver for lcd.

But its not working .( Displayed the string 2,3 times but not consistent, as its not displaying always after reprogramming )

LCD Driver code is shown below.............................

void delay( int msec)

{

  int i,j;

  for(i=0;i<msec;i++)

       for(j=0; j<1270; j++);

}

void lcd_cmd( char DData) // Function to send command on LCD

{

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDEN, 0);

  if((DData & 0x01) ==0)

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD0, 0);

  else

  {

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD0, 1);

  }

  if((DData & 0x02) ==0)

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD1, 0);

  else

  {

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD1, 1);

  }

  if((DData & 0x04) ==0)

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD2, 0);

  else

  {

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD2, 1);

  }

  if((DData & 0x08) ==0)

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD3, 0);

  else

  {

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD3, 1);

  }

  if((DData & 0x10) ==0)

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD4, 0);

  else

  {

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD4, 1);

  }

  if((DData & 0x20) ==0)

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD5, 0);

  else

  {

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD5, 1);

  }

  if((DData & 0x40) ==0)

  GPIO_DRV_WritePinOutput(kGpioLCDD6, 0);

  else

  {

  }

void lcd_data_string( char *lcd_str)

{

  int i=0;

  while(lcd_str[i]!='\0')

  {

  lcd_data(lcd_str[i]);

  i++;

  delay(1);

  lcd_cmd(0X01); // For clear LCD screen

  delay(1);

  lcd_cmd(0X0C); // For display on cursor off

  delay(1);

  lcd_cmd(0X80);

  delay(10);

  lcd_data_string("CHECK LCD");

}

.............................

All pins are configured as output pin and connected  successfully.

I cant findout the mistake in this as all commands and datas given through the above code is getting to the lcd pins.(Verified through multimeter)

Replaced the lcd module  and the problem still exists.

How this problem could be solved?? ?? I am blocked with this and delayed in our development activity.

Hoping for a solution asap.

Thanks,

Rahul

Could you post the entire project? I am trying to get an example of a 16x2 lcd display with no success. Thank you.

[rahul_eris]

Hello All,

The code worked . Issue were in the delay call.

I have used _time_delay() instead of the one used earlier.

Thank you.

Hello Rahul,

I am glad to know your application works properly, anyway I would like to recommend the following document:

Driving 16x2 LCD using KSDK drivers

The application uses the FRDM-KL25, but I assume you can use the same principle in your application.

I hope this material will be useful for you.

Have a great day.

Hello David,

Thanks  for the document.This is a needed document for LCD driver implementation .

Thanks
