Nokia5110 LCD (PCD8544 controller) with PIC18F4550
« on: March 25, 2014, 01:08:33 pm »
Hello.
I just bought a Nokia5110 LCD and i was trying to interface it with a pic18f4550, but i can't find any example code to use with C18 or Hytech C compilers, as most of the results are with arduino or old broken links.
Does anyone have some example code for PIC mcu's ? Any example code would do.

Don't find sample code. Find the datasheet for your lcd / chip and write code to drive it.

@Danny is right find the datasheet  then get some coffee/tea and watch this while reading the datasheet.

Note ignore the Arduino title, you can port the code after understanding the abstract. I found this LCD more fun and easy than HD44780U controllers.

Note if you bought it off ebay, the video says it will work from 5V or 3.3V, but I had a different experience the batch I have seems to only work off 3.3V, I tested a batch of 5 pieces (with the blue back light).

Here's my attempt:

pdc8544.h
pdc8544.cc

It's C++, but may be useful anyway.
