#152269 - HD44780 is a loose standard Responding to: ???'s previous message |

HD44780 and clones require you to follow this EXACTLY. This is complicated by the fact that many LCD manufacturers seem to use the HD44780 standard as more of a guideline. As has been mentioned in this forum, sometimes pin-outs are reversed and it isn't always obvious that an LCD treats the "E" (enable) line exactly the same way as another. And it seems that most of the datasheets I've seen for LCDs just talk about their electrical specs and physical dimensions without going into the communication protocol. They assume you know it. Unfortunately, it seems that we can't always assume that they or their LCD know it. Regards, Craig Steiner |
