When we talk about interfacing displays with microcontrollers for an embedded project, alpha numeric Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) are the most commonly used displays which are usually based on Hitachi HD44780 Driver. They are low powered, robust LCDs that are capable of displaying various characters in 5X8 or 8X10 pixel matrix. In this article, we will be interfacing an HD44780 based 20x4 alpha numeric LCDwith raspberry pi 4, also, we will try to print a string, scroll text, create new custom characters, and a lot more.

In this tutorial, you will be learning the use of different functions of an open source library RPLCD from PyPI. Further, you can create your own custom functions like scrolling texts, custom Characters, etc.

Here is the list of components required. I am using raspberry pi 4 for this project you can use anyone, also while purchasing the LCD try to buy the original Hitachi HD44780 based LCD so that we can rely on the robustness of our components.

This LCD has an HD44780 driven circuit that behaves as the heart of the LCD. See Datasheet of HD44780 for more details. As far as the interfacing of this LCD is concerned, you can interface it with raspberry pi in both ways either in I2C based or direct pins based, but if you are using the direct pins, it will require 14 pins of raspberry pi, also it consumes the SPI port if you are using it in 8 bit mode for the transmission. Today we are using it in I2C mode for interfacing.

For the connections and raspberry pi settings for LCD in I2C mode, you can visit CircuitDigest official website. Also, for the GPIO connections of the raspberry pi in case of having no I2C module you can connect it as follows

RPLCD will take the necessary smbus automatically. Here as soon as you successfully install the library, you will be asked to set the address of the i2c and expender as usually i2c can be made using PCF8574 or MCP2308 or MCP23017. Here we will have PCF8574 I2C Expander at 0x27 address (learn how to find the i2c address of your device).

Here we are using LCD in 4bit Mode so i2c will be worked in that mode only, however, the i2c library is not available for using it in 8 bit mode, this can be done by avoiding use of i2c at this time, use GPIOs interfacing instead for using it in 8 bit mode.

Now it’s the time for printing ‘Hello world’ on your LCD, for doing that you need to create a new python file name it by your choice. Write the following code for printing your very first string on the LCD.

Here you can see that the RPLCD contains i2c.py and by importing it you are getting all the methods written in the "i2c.py". Now in the argument on CharLCD() you can pass the I2C name and the address of it, mine is 0x27, and m using PCF8574

By simply writing this you can print any string. You just pass the string in lcd.write_string(). You may change the position of the string by adjusting the cursor_pos(m,n) where m is the no. row (from 0 to 3 for 20x4 LCD) and n is the no. of column (from 0 to 19 for 20x2 LCD).

Remember that you can only print text in string format as lcd.write_string() function can only display string not the integer value. If you still want to display numbers then you can do it after converting the integer in string by any type casting method. It can display the long text in two lines of the LCD until auto_linebreak() is disabled.dd

In the above code, we are using the frame buffer method to display long strings. After creating the 2-dimensional list having rows and columns for 20x4 LCD.

Here location is the memory location of the character, and bitmap tuple is the binary information stored in 5 bits in each 8 Elements. Here 5 and 8 represents the 5X8 character sets as our LCD has 20x4 characters and each character is made up of 5x8 pixel matrics. Usually, 8x10 or 5x8 pixel matrix is used to represent all the possible English characters in an LCD.

Our LCD has a memory of creating 8 new custom characters as of now. Each of it can be stored in any of x00 to x07. For calling it we will directly call the created character.

First, we will create facial characters in four pieces i.e., Bottom Left LB, Left Top LT, Right Top RT, Right Bottom RB. Here I have used an online tool for creating this character. You can use any.

Hence, we have done with the initializing setup of interfacing 20x4 LCD with i2C with our Raspberry Pi, also we get to know about the character creation in the LCD, and also, we have created multiple pixel characters. We have seen how a long string can be displayed using the scrolling text technique.

We stock a huge variety of displays for every project and microcontroller, including LCDs, TFTs, OLEDs, Paper displays and more. We also stock adapters and accessories for your traditional HDMI displays.

※Price Increase NotificationThe TFT glass cell makers such as Tianma,Hanstar,BOE,Innolux has reduced or stopped the production of small and medium-sized tft glass cell from August-2020 due to the low profit and focus on the size of LCD TV,Tablet PC and Smart Phone .It results the glass cell price in the market is extremely high,and the same situation happens in IC industry.We deeply regret that rapidly rising costs for glass cell and controller IC necessitate our raising the price of tft display.We have made every attempt to avoid the increase, we could accept no profit from the beginning,but the price is going up frequently ,we"re now losing a lot of money. We have no choice if we want to survive. There is no certain answer for when the price would go back to the normal.We guess it will take at least 6 months until these glass cell and semiconductor manufacturing companies recover the production schedule.

ER-OLEDM032-1G is the 256x64 green pixels OLED display with adaptor board that simplifies your design,diagonal is only 3.2 inch.The controller ic SSD1322, communicates via 6800/8080 8-bit parallel and 3-wire/4-wire serial interface. Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduces the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such high contrast,extremely wide viewing angle and extremely operating temperature.Please refer to below interfacing document for how to switch to different interface. The default interface is 8-bit 8080 parallel.

It"s easily controlled by MCU such as 8051,PIC,AVR,ARDUINO,ARM and Raspberry Pi.It can be used in any embedded systems,industrial device,security,medical and hand-held device.

Of course, we wouldn"t just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!" We prepared the interfacing documents,libraries and examples for arduino due,mega 2560,uno,nano and for raspberry pi or raspberry pi zero.For 8051 microcontroller user,we prepared the detailed tutorial such as interfacing, demo code and Development Kit at the bottom of this page.

This LCD has been chosen specifically because it works well with the RasPiO®Duino. We’ve opened, tested and adjusted the contrast on every single one. We’ve also written someawesome “RasPi.TV-style” instructionsto guarantee you have a positive experience with your LCD.

There’s an open source library for driving this LCD from your RasPiO®Duino. I’ve written a demo-sketch to get you started. It operates the dual-sensor digital thermometer shown above, giving you the following output…

I’ve written 7 pages of instructions which have been appended to the RasPiO®Duino eBook. But you can also download just those last 7 pages if you choose to. Full instructions with high quality photos, diagrams, explanations and code walk-through are included. You can check those out any time you likehere…

Controlling a display is one of the first things to learn in embedded programming. This module makes connection and programming a display quick and easy. It only requires 2 wires to be connected to an Arduino/Raspberry Pi to receive commands, thus freeing up the input output pins in your project which can be used for other purposes. Libraries and sample codes are avialable which make programming this board very easy.

This module works with all standard character LCDs from 8x1 to 20x4 sizes! It includes all the external circuits required to use a LCD including a user adjustable contrast setting.

This is a very popular display with numerous tutorials, sample codes and libraries available to use it. Libraries are available with functions for printing print text, bitmap images, pixels, rectangles, circles and lines. Features
