Basics

We have covered the basics of character LCDs in the 8051 Tutorial. In this tutorial let's go straight ahead and interface various character display like 16x1, 16x2, 20x4 with AVR atmega32.

Note that most of these displays use a standard display controller like HD44780U, hence a generic code can be written to interface different types mentioned above. Also, these can be interfaced in 4-bit, 8-bit modes.

Hookup

We will connect the display in 4 bit mode as shown in the diagram below. You may change it to 8 bit and make the required connections and corresponding code changes. Also note that the Hardware connections remain same for LCD 16x1, LCD 16x 2 and LCD 20x4 configurations. So let's start with 16x1 LCD.

LCD 16 x 2

LCD 20 x 4

Schematic:4bit mode

Schemati:8bit mode

Code and Explanation will be ubdated soon..
