Hello,

I am trying to read display data from the CrystalFontz CFAG12864B graphical LCD (which uses the KS0108B chip).

I think the procedure is as follows:
SetPage;
SetColumn;

write sequence:
LCD_CTRL_REG: RESET = 1, D/I = 1, E = 1, R/W = 1, select( CSx )
LCD_CTRL_REG: RESET = 1, D/I = 1, E = 0, R/W = 1, select( CSx )
read LCD_DATA_REG;
LCD_CTRL_REG: RESET = 1, D/I = 1, E = 1, R/W = 1, select( CSx )

However, I am not reading back the 8bit data that I expect at that location.
What am I doing wrong ?


Thx.
Cheers,
Albert

Finally got to write something here as I've been quite busy the last few days.

Any progress on this ?

I quickly looked at the datasheet and it said that the data can be read when E = HIGH. I haven't personally ever read from KS0108 so I can only tell what the datasheet says.

edit:
Also noticed this in the datasheet:
Quote:
To read the contents of display data RAM, twice access of read instruction is needed. In first access, data in display data RAM
is latched into output register. In second access, MPU can read data which is latched. That is, to read the data in display data
RAM, it needs dummy read. But status read is not needed dummy read.


edit2:
I also found some code for Ks0108
Code:
void glcd_WaitIfBusy(void)
{
  outp(0x00, glcd_DataDir);
  sbi(glcd_Control, glcd_RW);
  cbi(glcd_Control, glcd_RS);
  do {
    glcd_Delay(1);
    sbi(glcd_Control, glcd_Enable);
    glcd_Delay(1);
    cbi(glcd_Control, glcd_Enable);
  } while (bit_is_set(glcd_DataIn, glcd_sBUSY));
}

unsigned char glcd_ReadData(void)
{
   glcd_WaitIfBusy();
  outp(0x00, glcd_DataDir);
  sbi(glcd_Control, glcd_RW);
  sbi(glcd_Control, glcd_RS);
  sbi(glcd_Control, glcd_Enable);
  glcd_Delay(1);
  cbi(glcd_Control, glcd_Enable);
  return inp(glcd_DataIn);
}

you want write to address 1 ( for example ) :

you select the address 1 ( by send command )
you write the data in the address
and now the next address is automaticly set by the KS0108B ( address 2 )

so if you read now , you read the data in address 2 .


I think you have to send the address (the same ) beford read it .

attention to the lpt port: some of the pins are 0V activ, i mean that if you set the bit, it will produce 0 volt and if you clear it, it will produce 5v, it on some of the control pins.

E should be low at all the time .

step by step:

- you set CSx , r/w ,d/i

- you put E =1

( maybe need delay here )

- read the bus D7-D0

- E=0
