PIN DESCRIPTION OF LCD:

PROGRAM:

#include<avr/io.h>   // header file for AVR

#include<util/delay.h> // header file for delay function

void lcd_init(void);

void lcd_command(char c);

void lcd_data(char d);

void str(char a[]);

int main(void)    // main program

 {

DDRB=0XFF;  //  Select PORT B as an output port

DDRD=0XFF; // Select PORT D as an output port

lcd_init();      // initialize the lcd

while(1)             // continuous loop

 {

str("WELCOME TO THE"); 

lcd_command(0xc0);                  // move cursor to the next line

str("EMBEDDED SYSTEM");

lcd_command(0x01);           // clear display

}

}

void lcd_init(void)  // lcd initialization function

{

lcd_command(0x38); //8bit,2 line,5*7 matrix

lcd_command(0x0c); //cursor off,display on

lcd_command(0x80);//force cursor to the beginning of the first line

lcd_command(0x01);// clear display

lcd_command(0x06); // entry mode

}

void lcd_command(char c) // lcd command function

{

PORTB=c;  // send data to PORT B

PORTD = 0xf2; // RS=0,EN=1

_delay_us(10);      // high to low pulse on enable pin

PORTD = 0xf0; //EN =0

_delay_ms(500);

}

void lcd_data(char d) //lcd data function

{

PORTB=d;  // send data to PORT B

PORTD = 0xf3; // RS =1,EN =1

_delay_us(10); // high to low pulse on enable pin

PORTD = 0xf1;//EN = 0

_delay_ms(500);

}

void str(char a[]) // function to display string

{

int j;

for(j=0;a[j]!='\0';j++)

{

lcd_data(a[j]);

}

}

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Lcd data pins are connected to PORT B and RS and EN pins of lcd are connected to PORT D.0 AND PORT D.1 respectively. Hence I have set the direction of PORT B and PORT D register as an output.

In the main program, I have set the direction of the PORT B register and PORT D register as an output. After that, I have initialized the lcd by providing the required lcd commands. After that, I have sent the data (which will get displayed on an lcd) in the string format.

In the lcd command function, RS is provided with logic 0 to select the command register. To pass the command to the lcd controller, enable pin is provided with a high to low pulse. In the string function, I have provided one by one character of a string to the lcd data function.

In the lcd data function, all the operations remain the same as getting performed in the lcd command function. Only RS is provided with '1' to select the data register.

NOTE:

1.In proteus simulation, there is no need to connect vss, vdd and vee.But when we are practically implementing the circuit, all the pins should be connected as mentioned in pin description table of lcd. 


2.In this project, I haven't used the RW pin as the reading operation never gets performed. We know that to perform the write operation of lcd it is needed to provide logic 0 to RW pin. Hence I have connected the RW pin to the ground.
