Hi Benj

What do these do exactly???

adcon0 = 0x3C;
adcon1 = 0x0F;
cmcon = 0x07;


i added them in as you said and it works a treat, im am now a happy person.

Hi Steve

Thanks for your reply, The timing options appear to be ok, in that the program is running and doing as it should (sort of) i have it set as HS with 20mhz xtal.

is there a particular part of the config i should be paying attention to??

Having problems again, Decided in the end it was best to stick with the KS0108 LCD, i was using a 16f877 for my project but have filled the chip and need loads more space. So i decided to go for the 18f4685 loads of room in the same 40pin DIL package. I changed the PIC in the Chip, Target menu to th...

Thanks for the help so far Ben Starting with the first one on the list void MX_LCD_Enable (void) { set_bit(MX_CONTROL_PORT, MX_ENABLE); //delay_10us(1); //Min delay 450ns nop(); nop(); nop(); nop(); nop(); clear_bit(MX_CONTROL_PORT, MX_ENABLE); //delay_10us(1); //Min delay 1.5us nop(); nop(); nop();...

Hi Ben

Thanks for the reply, i really dont think i know enough to do this.

I looked for the send byte and i cant find anything in the file relating to this.


Is it possible for you to highlight the relavent areas of the code that will require some modification??

I have been pointed to the file that describes how to make your own custom file.

Its a bit over my head, anyone any clues on what to do??

This is the type of screen i would like to use if at all possible.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-320x240-Graphic ... 45f64197d1

Is there any available for flowcode??.

Ideally i would like the 320 x 240 but either will do

Im using a 128x64 but could do with something a bit bigger.

Hi again.

I found the menu you were refering to and also the option to select which pin is output.

Thanks for the help, i didnt even know this menu existed...

Hi medelec

Im a bit of a noob at this sort of stuff, although im getting there slowly. I have a few questions.

Where is the configuration menu??
What is CCP2 mux??

How will i select which pin i want the PWM signal to come from??

Cheers

Hi again, have had to upgrade to a bigger chip, so thought id go all out and use the 18f6722 loads of pins and memory. I want to use PWM2, looking at the datasheet this is set by default to RC1. I would like to use PWM2 using pin RE7, This is also set in the defines but is set as 2a. #define MX_PWM_...

ok, more progress it seems that there is an interupt used in the print number function, this interupt must be clashing with the timer0 interupt. if i disable the timer interupt just before using the print number function then all works well. but i cannot have the timer just running continuously whil...

Ok im making progress i have narrowed it downt to the PRINT NUMBER function if the timer is running and i use the PRINT NUMBER function, the program jams up. if the timer is not running all is good, i can use the timer with any other function in the LCD list apart from PRINT NUMBER Guessing there is...

Hi Im having a bit of a problem with the timer on the 16f877. i have an old project i built with using the 16f877 and used the timer for a built in clock function. I used a 4x20 display. This worked perfectly. This time round im using a ks0108 type LCD, and i cant get the timer to work correctly (if...

Does anyone know how to make the text smaller in the KS0108 custom file??

i have worked out how to make text bigger but the smallest is 9 pixels x 6 pixels (i think)

Im trying to get something like 6 pixels x 4 pixels if at all possible..

Hi Benj I feel like a bit of an idiot now. i found the problem. The variable in the print number command was in inverted commas, like you would with a string. This was making it do these random numbers, it was only after i posted that i realised what the problem was. There was one more thing i wante...

Hi i am trying to setup a thermometer using a ks0108 type glcd 128x64 pixel. I have been able to type text onto the screen etc, and my ADC is working fine. Problem is when i use the Print Number function, it doenst do what i want it to, it just counts super fast, looks like its counting between 64 -...

Im using the custom component for ks108 lcd Problem is im lost as i dont know which pin goes where, on the alphanumeric display you can select which port and pin each line goes to. with the custom component i cant do that. When code is generated in C i just get this //Common defines #define MX_DATA_...

Hi Its the Lcd from a nokia 6610, phillips chipset, (ebay knock off) i have tried looking for and also adding in the contrast settings but no good, i also found another thread on here that said you have to play with the colour settings in the code, but it gave no info on how to do such a thing. not ...

Hi, I am experimenting with the GLCD in flowcode, so far i have managed to initialise it and also print text, the problem is that the text is extremely faint and i cannot get any colours to show on the lcd. i first thought it was the contrast settings but cant find any settings for this in the GLCD....

I am working on a lamp dimmer project. I understand how phase control works and what needs to happen in order to dim a lamp. I could do with a bit of help in setting it up in flowcode though. i know i need to set up a timer and then trigger it @ zero crossing, it then counts to a set value and then ...

i cannot post in flowcode 4 part of the forum as i dont yet have a registered copy of flowcode, and before i purchase one i need to make sure i can do what i want it to do. while were on the subject will the student version create the code for the glcd?? and what is the difference between the studen...

Does anyone know how to make the fontsize bigger for the glcd in flowcode 4, i need something twice the size of font 2

Hi Guys I have been playing with Flowcode 4 to build a thermostat, so far i have the ADC input sorted and i have converted the INT value to a temperature value, and i can display this on the lcd Problem is i want this to be set with a 0.5f resolution so the temperature should read say 87.5f or 90.0 ...
