8 bit LCD

Started by mpbwork June 24, 2009
Hi Is there any LCD examples on the TI web site for parralell LCD modules like the ones that use a HD44780 controler or equivalent?
Not the built in LCD MUX function.
Any MSP but I use the MSP430FG4618.
Thanks, I looked but couldent find any.

Beginning Microcontrollers with the MSP430

I don't know what you're looking for that you haven't found, as the internet is filled with explanations on how to use those displays and examples on how to use them with just about every type of microcontroller there is and any inreface flavour: 4 or 8 data bits, with busy_flag detection or delay routines, with read capabilities or write-only. This forum has many discussions on how to interface with those displays too.
Broaden your search. I found all the information I needed on the internet when I started using those displays. That was over 10 years ago.

> Hi,

I understand that sometimes it can be a pain in the rear looking for code. Sometimes it is difficult because the search keys might be different than you expect.

When I had to do is look at some code for the Pic processor. I have some old code that you are happy to have (about four years ago I needed to support an LCD module with a msp430x449). I'm trying to figure out if you can upload stuff on this site (I'm newly registered)

It is *very* easy to use them, and as others have pointed out there are a lot of example. Here is a good link:
