Post subject:  T6963c initialization problem with address pointer
Hi!

I have a issue with my 240*128 Display. I have tryed to write a progamm which can display text on the display. I am using a 8 Bit 80C535 uC. Every thing works fine :wink: the only issue that I have is the possision of the text on the LCD. E.g. I set up the Text Home address to 1400hex, initialize the address pointer to 1400hex and start writing text(10 characters) to the display in auto increment mode but they don't appear. When I fill the whole RAM than the text appears.
I think that my address pointer shows to the wrong address. But I have no idea why :( .

I hope you understand my issue!!

THANX for your help

Jim

#include <REG515.H>

I think you should check this piece of code
Code:
   //Set graphics area to 0x1E;
   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0x1e;
   writedatum();

   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0x00;
   writedatum();
   
   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0x40;
   writecommand();

especially the line P5 = 0x40

I think you should have 0x43 there.

:D THANX :D

Ohh man, I have checked the code several times. I am soo glade that you have found the mistake!!!

I will try it on monday and I hope that this was the only bug :roll:


Thanks

Now everthing works fine! Thanks for your :lol: help :lol: !

But I have found a bug too in my code:

After the RAM delete I forgot to stop the auto increment mode. This cause the issue that a normal command won't be recognize like the address pointer set for the dipslay output. The following code segment shows the fixed version.

Code:

  //****clear RAM***************************
   //Auto inc on
   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0xb0;
   writecommand();

   
   for(i=0;i<8192;i++)
   {
   statuscheck_Automode();
   P5 = 0x00;
   writedatum();
   }

                //Auto inc off
   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0xb2;
   writecommand();

   //*****Text output on display*******   

   
   //Set address pointer
   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0x00;
   writedatum();

   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0x14;
   writedatum();

   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0x24;
   writecommand();
   
   //Auto inc on
   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0xb0;
   writecommand();

   for(m=0;m<3;m++)
   {
      for(i=0;i<10;i++)
      {
      statuscheck_Automode();
      P5 = Daten[i];
      writedatum();
      }
   }

                //Auto inc off
   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0xb2;
   writecommand();
      
   //Set Text on, Graphics off, Cursor off
   statuscheck();
   P5 = 0x94;
   writecommand();
   
   while(1);
