Dear Kitti,



No, if you write the Hours, Minutes 8 bit values directly to your LCD it will not display what you want. [ I assume you use the hours, minutes etc. in binary format and not ascii ]. The LCD's always display ascii equivalent of the 8 bit stuff send to it. Thus inorder to display the required Hours, Minutes etc you need to convert your binary values to Two digit ascii and then send these two hour digits as two bytes to LCD and it will display those two digits. For converting your binary hours to two digit ascii hours you can do this.

hours_first_digit = ( hours_binary / 10 ) + 0x30 ;
hours_second_digit = hours_binary - ( hours_first_digit * 10 ) + 0x30 ;

The two digits thus extracted can be sent to LCD to display two hour digits. Do the same for minutes and seconds as well. Keep in mind the binary equivalent of ascii
'0'= 0x30
'1'= 0x31
.......
.......
'9'= 0x39
Thats why I add 0x30 to the binary digits.
