Lcd Display

[jelodavid 0]

Hello everyone! I just wanna ask for help about displaying characters on 2x16 LCD.

 

In CCS, this is their way of put to characters on LCD:

 

// Declare variables

int i=20;

int j=50;

 

// put "Display: 20 50" on LCD--------

printf(lcd_putc,"Display: %u %u", i, j);

 

I don't know how to do it to boostc..............

jelodavid,

 

The SourceBoost installation includes an LCD template library.

 

#include <system.h>
#include <icd2.h> // only required if using ICD2

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// LCD template arguments - defines how the LCD is connected to the PIC
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// These must be define before template header file is included
// Remember when using LCD in 4 bit mode you must connect to the LCDs DB4-DB7 pin
//
// Using this code under SourceBoost simulator (for PIC16F877), configure the LCD 
// plugin as follows:
// RS  to RA3
// R/W to RA2
// E   to RA1
// DB0 to None
// DB1 to None
// DB2 to None
// DB3 to None
// DB4 to RD0
// DB5 to RD1
// DB6 to RD2
// DB7 to RD3
//
// These setting are correct for PICDEM2 PLUS board with PIC16F877 or PIC18F452 target!
#define LCD_ARGS     1,    /* Interface type: mode 0 = 8bit, 1 = 4bit(low nibble), 2 = 4bit(upper nibble) */ \
       1,                 /* Use busy signal: 1 = use busy, 0 = use time delays */\
       PORTD, TRISD,     /* Data port and data port tris register */ \
       PORTA, TRISA,     /* Control port and control port tris register */ \
       3,                /* Bit number of control port is connected to RS */ \
       2,                /* Bit number of control port is connected to RW */ \
       1                 /* Bit number of control port is connected to Enable */

#include <lcd_driver.h> // include the LCD template code


// Note: If using this code on a device with analog I/O pins (eg PIC16F877), 
// remember to turn off the analog functionality on the pins being used before 
// calling the lcd_setup() function, otherwise you will find that things don't
// work as the port will partly in analog mode!!

   // - turn PortA inputs that we are using into digital mode.
   adcon1 = 00001110b; 
   lcd_setup();
   
   lcd_gotoxy( 0,0 ); // start of first line
   lprintf( "My numb is %u", 1234 );
   
   while( 1 );
}

 

The limitation with lprintf is that it can only have one numerical argument.

So to print out two numbers:

 

lprintf( "numb1:%u", mynumb1 );

lprintf( " numb2:%u", mynumb2 );
