Introduction

Overview:

This manual is designed to help embedded programmers and students, rapidly exploit the Avr(Atmega)-Controller for embedded applications. This manual has been targeted at embedded systems programmers and Students who have basic knowledge of Avr(Atmega32/Avr) architecture and C-Language.

This manual provides the reference to all the library functions which are grouped under respective .c file.

The .c files convention is as per the peripherals. The peripherals (lcd, keypad..) are connected to default PORTs which can be connect to required  PORTs by changing the #defines .

Reference:

    It is recommended to go through the below reference documents and datasheets before interfacing any peripherals.

1. The Avr Microcontroller and Embedded Systems by Muhammad Ali Mazidi. 2. Atmega32 DataSheet. 3. Embedded C by Michael J Pont . 4. Any of the 16x2 lcd datasheet. 5. RTC-DS1307 from Dallas Semiconductors.

LCD_8_bit Mode

                       AVR LCD library for 8-bit mode
  • Filename: lcd_8_bit.c
  • Controller: Atmega Family(8,16,32,64,128)

Note:

  • Pin connection for LCD display in 8-bit mode is as shown below.By default the LCD is connected to PORTB(databus) and PORTD(controlbus).
  • The code can be modified to connect the LCD to any of the PORTs by changing the "#define".
  • io.h contains the defnition of all ports and SFRs delay.h contains the in built delay routines(us and ms routines).
#include <avr\io.h>
#include <util\delay.h>

#define databus_direction DDRC      //  LCD databus Direction Configuration
#define controlbus_direction DDRD  //  LCD Control bus Direction Configuration
 
#define databus	PORTC             //	LCD databus connected to PORTB
#define control_bus PORTD        //	LCD Control bus connected to PORTD
