Hello everyone i am using the lpc1769 to drive a 4 bit lcd and i need to use a delay function. I seen an example using SysTick_Handler used the example but i am getting errors below is my code any suggestion would be grateful.


void lcd_init();
void lcd_initwrite(unsigned char value);
void command(uint8_t value);
void delay(unsigned int i);
void lcd_line1();
void lcd_string(char *a);
static void ms_delay(uint32_t msTicks);
volatile uint32_t msTicks;

void lcd_init()
{

    ms_delay(20); // sets delay off 20ms
    lcd_initwrite(0x30);  // initialize commands for LCD
    ms_delay(5);
    lcd_initwrite(0x30);
    ms_delay(5);
    lcd_initwrite(0x30);
    ms_delay(5);
    lcd_initwrite(0x20); //initialization command for a 4 bit
    ms_delay(5);
    command(0x28);   //set to 4 bit and 2 lines
    command(0x01);   //clears the display
    command(0x06);  //Entry mode for the LCD
    command(0x0E);  //Turn on the display

}
//sends the initialization commands
void lcd_initwrite(unsigned char value)
{
    LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR |= (1<<9); // clears the RS signal
    LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR |= (1<<8); // clears the RW signal

    uint8_t bit[4];
    bit[0]=(value & 0x10)>>4;
    bit[1]=(value & 0x20)>>5;
    bit[2]=(value & 0x40)>>6;
    bit[3]=(value & 0x80)>>7;
    bit[0] ? (LPC_GPIO0->FIOSET = (1<<6)) : (LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR = (1<<6));
    bit[1] ? (LPC_GPIO0->FIOSET = (1<<0)) : (LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR = (1<<0));
    bit[2] ? (LPC_GPIO0->FIOSET = (1<<1)) : (LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR = (1<<1));
    bit[3] ? (LPC_GPIO0->FIOSET = (1<<18)) :(LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR = (1<<18));
    LPC_GPIO0->FIOSET |= (1<<7); //sets the enable pin
    ms_delay(1);                 //lms second delay
    LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR |= (1<<7); //clears the enable pin
}

void command(uint8_t value)
{
    uint8_t bit[4];
      //RS pin is low
    LPC_GPIO0->FIOCLR |= (1<<9); //RW is low

    //upper nibble and sending the data to the ports

}
i am getting errors trying to use the SysTick_Handler.

You might want to call SysTick_Config before you attempt to use the SysTicks.

Thanks for the reply yes i was reading the user manual and i have to set up an initilaization for SysTick. I have ideas of what to do but dont know how to start pls would you give an example or how to start. this will be highly appreciated thank you.

And what might the errors actually be? Its hard to see your screen from here :p

PS - if you want to post code on the forum, then please use the formatting (the # button in the forum editor) or even attach the code as a file to your post.

My error comes from
if (SysTick_Config(SystemCoreClock / 1000))
    {
    while (1);
    }
the compiler tells me undeclared SysTick_config and SystemCoreClock.
I have been reading on the SysTick Operation from the user manual and seem to understand it but dont know where to begin if u could explain, break down the Systick Time operation or give an example that would really help thanks.
