you keep persisting with referring to the ancient schematic and code you have.
the ancient schematic and code you refer to is MMIO (memory mapped I/O) and the uC you use have no external memory. Thus, there is no way in hades you can mangle it to work. THROW IT AWAY NOW Then, go get a cup of coffee, or whatever you need, to clear your head of everything you remember from that ancient design. Then, and only then, get the datasheet for an Optrex LCD similar to the one you have (except for pinning all Hitachi based LCDs are the same, and the Optrex datasheets are the best) study it and get an idea (there are even flowcharts in the datasheet. Then, and only then, write the necessary code yourself If in that process some specific questions come up, ask them here. So called "reference designs and reference code" can be helpful, but starting with them whith no basic knowledge does NOT work. Erik PS were you to use a derivative with external memory access the ancient stuff you have "would work", however be grossly inefficient with a modern derivative. Hi Erik: Till the members informed me about memory mapped I/O I did not know the differance. Thank you for that. I now see how memory I/O works and the differance between the two mcu chips. I did not know it was that differcult to make the software changes. Now I do. This tester was special and did lot more than write a character to LCD. It is about 28 pages of code. Here's some examples T2 command starts the character test. T3 comand starts the custom character test. T4 test checks internal ram of LCD. All I wanted to do was make it smaller. To all members thanks for all the comments you made on this thread. Best regards, Ralph Sac |
