FOUND IT!

trimmer wiring problem (classic LOL) Allthough it looked perfect on the board two pins were not connected correctly.

Thank's for the help Martin

I'll disable the LCD and re check everything.
The contrast trimmer seems to be working fine, i measured it but i will re check just to be sure.
Thank you for your help

http://www.azdisplays.com/PDF/acm1602k.pdf This is the main display i use.

I'll check the supply voltages again and re verify that i have correct voltages. Contrast voltage seems to be OK too, i have a 10k multiturn trimmer.

Hello! Sorry for the late reply. Sorry the 12x6 was a typo. It's actualy 16x2. Nothing is visible on the lcd during power up. No squares or anything that shows it's working. Power supply is OK i checked it multiple times and all connections, they all reach the lcd fine. I also tried 3 different disp...

Clock at 48MHz solved the blinking problem, it blinks correctly.
However when i removed the loop and tried to operate normally no display again.
Have checked all the connections on the board even with a stereoscope..
That's weird.

Thank you for your reply medelec.

I have a R/W line on portD5 but it's now grounded just to see if it works.
Check the attached for more info.

Hello! My ciruit is this http://i.imgur.com/r2toqZ9.png And this is the software http://i.imgur.com/Xe6PtNI.jpg The funny thing is that it works finr on picdem 2 plus board from microchip but i don't even get the startup squares on the lcd. Have checked connections, replaced lcd cables, tried 3 lcd'...

Thank you kersing.

This is what i did, i thought about sending the command first followed by the two bytes (as some dac examples on the forum) but i got a bit confused by the don't care bits.
I was making a mistake on shifting.

Now it seems to be OK, i'll test this afternoon.

Hello again! I'm back with a similar problem This http://i.imgur.com/x4iFE1x.jpg Is the word i have to send. My problem is the X bytes in the middle and at the end, they are don't care bytes. How can i send the whole 24 bit word with the data bits changing each time? Any ideas? Thank you for your re...

I'm still trying to figure out how to try different compilers in V6 especially XC and CCS maybe.

Using Windows 7 pro 64 and Kaspersky internet security 2015.
Restarting didn't solved it but disabling the antivirus did it faster..
Stupid me...


Thank's a lot kersing.

Hello!
Anyone had that issue before?
When i compile my program the boostc messages appear and it only produces dots
It compiled the soft but needed 10 min to do it.
Anything i'm doing wrong?

Thank you Benj i'll try it out.

ANy news regarding the SP9210 OLED?

Hello! I am using microchip's Explorer 16 44 pin demo board http://www.microchip.com/DevelopmentTools/ProductDetails.aspx?PartNO=DM240002 http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/50001589b.pdf And it has an LCD (HD44780 compatible i think) but with an 8bit interface, anyone knows if it will w...

I am looking to use it with SPI interface (the serial interface).
Doesn't seem to be anything else regarding this controller. There is only one datasheet.

The actual pixel size of the display is 128 x 36 dots

Hello Ben!
The controller is SP9210, here is a datasheet i found http://www.displayfuture.com/Display/da ... SP9210.pdf

Regards

Yes already i presume the acs711 (wich might get dumped for precision reasons) i want to use is something similar.
For now i am skipping the rest and focusing more on the display which is the most complicated part.

Hello!
Is there anyway to get XC16 work with flowcode 6?

Thnx

Hello!
I am looking for someone to create me some components for flowcode V6, a display, a current sensor, a simple DAC, a ADC
I have datasheets if needed.


Regards

Oh yes! Just got it now after reading this http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/article.php?a=366
I am still setting up my circuit hopefully i'll be able to try this today or tomorrow.

edit:
btw the datasheet of what i'm trying to control https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxL-fH ... FBQWRDbGs/

0xFF? Isn't that 111111111?
Don't quite get the "& 0xFF" part but i'll search.

Thank you for your reply Nicolas seems to be extremely helpful.

I am using Uint, can you explain how to split the variable? (excuse me on this i'm a complete noob).

Hey i am still setting my circuit a bit. I want to send a range of numbers (variable) from 500 to 1800 so for example the number 1800 is 11100001000 which is 11bits. So i will send first the "0000" part and then the number to complete my 15bit word. edit: btw that is probably not the correct way sin...

Thank's a lot.
I will try to set up a pic and try a few tricks.

Hello! Noob questions. I would like to begin using flowcode and i have a few questions. I require to program a few registers (15bit) they are usually a number like 500 up to 1800 but i have to send the whole 15 sequence. SO i would like to read my variable (let's say 1400 which is 10101111000 11 bit...
