My LCD Controller
last updated: Sept. 9, 2001
I made this device to make it easier to control LCDs. A few people wanted to make one for themselves so here's how to do it.
This works with most LCDs that have 2 rows of 7 pins. With a different connector it works with the ones with 1 row of 14 pins. It connects to the transmit pin on any microcontroller that has a UART. Text sent to it from that pin (at 9600 baud) appears on the LCD. If you're using a C compiler, you can use putchar and printf functions. There's an assortment of codes that can be sent to manipulate the display. When sending, there must be at least 2 ms between characters.
