| − | =Intro=
| + | |
| − | If you have done with simple 16x2 LCD and still want to do more with display, its time to have fun with Graphics LCD.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We all really enjoy animations kind of things and this is the stuff what we can do with GLCD.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | GLCD is very similar to simple 16x2 LCD with additional features. To explore these features and functionality you would like to see our tutorial [[Graphics LCD Basics : KS0108 based JHD12864E]]

| − | =Port Connection=
| + | |
| − | This section shows how to configure the GPIO for interfacing the GLCD.<br>
| + | |
| − | The below configuration is as per the above schematic. You can connect the GLCD to any of the PORT pins available on your boards and update this section accordingly

| − | =GLCD Operation=
| + | |
| − | In this section we are going to see how to send the data/cmd to the GLCD along with the timing diagrams.
| + | |
| − | First lets see the timing diagram for sending the data and the command signals(RS,RW,EN), accordingly we write the algorithm and finally the code.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Timing Diagram===
| + | |
| − | The below image shows the timing diagram for sending the data to the LCD.<br>
| + | |
| − | As shown in the timing diagram the data is written after sending the RS and RW signals. It is still ok to send the data before these signals.<br>
| + | |
| − | The only important thing is the data should be available on the databus before generating the High-to-Low pulse on EN pin.

| − | | + | |
| − | ===Steps for Sending Command:===
| + | |
| − | *step1: Send the I/P command to GLCD.
| + | |
| − | *step2: Select the Control Register by making RS low.
| + | |
| − | *step3: Select Write operation making RW low.
| + | |
| − | *step4: Send a High-to-Low pulse on Enable PIN with some delay_us.

| − | ===Steps for Sending Data:===
| + | |
| − | *step1: Send the character to GLCD.
| + | |
| − | *step2: Select the Data Register by making RS high.
| + | |
| − | *step3: Select Write operation making RW low.
| + | |
| − | *step4: Send a High-to-Low pulse on Enable PIN with some delay_us.
| + | |
| − | The timings are similar as above only change is that '''RS''' is made high for selecting Data register.

| − | ===Using Explore Embedded Libraries :===
| + | |
| − | In the above example we just discussed how to interface Graphics Lcd.<br>
| + | |
| − | Once you know the working of GLCD, you can directly use the ExploreEmbedded libraries to play around with your GLCD.<br>
| + | |
| − | For that you need to include the glcd.c/glcd.h and the associated files(delay/stdutils).<br>
| + | |
| − | After including these files, the only thing you got to do is to configure the PORTs in glcd.h as per your hardware connection.<br>
| + | |
| − | The below sample code shows how to use the already available GLCD functions.<br>
