The interface type is Serial with SPI compatibility. This is an ROHS Compliant product manufactured with ISO standards and procedures.

This little 8-character, 2-line parallel liquid crystal display is a generic equivalent of the Optrex DMC-50448N-AAE-AD LCD. It is incorporated into some versions of our A-Star 32U4 Prime microcontroller boards and our Zumo 32U4 and 3pi robots. It uses the common HD44780 interface, so sample interface code is widely available for a variety of microcontrollers. This is the smallest package we know of for this familiar interface.

You can find sample HD44780 LCD interface code written for a variety of AVR microcontrollers as part of the Pololu AVR library. If you are using an Arduino board, you can get started with Arduino’s LiquidCrystal library.

Text LCD displays are among the simplest. They are popular for their ease of operation and programming thanks to the HD44780 LCD controller and their analogs with the built-in set of characters including ASCII characters. Text displays consist of a matrix of dots combined into rows and columns. Formats of rows and columns are standardized by manufacturers and can be 8x1, 8x2, 10x1, 10x2, 16x1, 16x2, 16x4, 20x1, 20x2, 20x4, 24x1, 24x2. Each LCD controller is capable of operating up to 80 characters so the text LCD display with the 20x4 format is the largest. There are even larger text LCD displays such as 40x4 using several LCD controllers but they are too rare.

Initially, text LCD displays communicate with microcontrollers such as Arduino using parallel 4 or 8-bit interfaces. Some manufacturers add shift registers and port expanders to the display, making it possible to control via I2C or SPI bus. It is done for connecting convenience and reducing the number of mounting wires.

These nodes contain everything you need to start working with displays. You only have to connect your display to the microcontroller and set up proper connection parameters.

If the display communicates via an I2C bus the input parameter is the device address. Put the I2C address value of the byte type to the ADDR pin field.

If the display is controlled using a parallel interface fill in the pin values RS, EN, D4, D5, D6, D7 according to the microcontroller ports through which the display is connected.

The L input pins of the string type have indexes from 1 to 4 and correspond to the lines on your text display. The boolean value at the ACT pin is responsible for updating the display screen if the incoming string values change. Versions controlled by the I2C bus have an additional BL pin which turns on and off the display backlight.

Here is a simple example of using quick start nodes. For the example we use a 16x2 format display controlled by I2C. Connect the display to the microcontroller. Create an empty patch and put the text-lcd-i2c-16x2 quick start node onto it. The LCD screen from this example has the 38 I2C address so we put the 38h value to the ADDR pin.

Let’s print the “HELLO” word on the first line of the text display. Add a constant-string node onto the patch, fill it with the "HELLO" string value, and then link it with the L1 input pin of the quickstart node denoting the first line of the display.

A text can be entered directly into a value field of the input pin. To demonstrate it, let’s print the “WORLD” word on the second line of the display. Put the "WORLD" string value into the L2 pin of the text-lcd-i2c-16x2 quick start node.

Try a more dynamic example. Let’s display the system time, it is the time that has passed since the start of the program. To obtain the time value use the system-time node from the core library.

Remove the "WORLD" value from the L2 pin of the quickstart node and change the text inside of the constant string node to "Time: ". In XOD you can add different strings together or combine a string with a value of another data type using concat or join nodes. Put the concat node onto the patch to unite the static "Time: " text with a value received from the system-time node. To display the combined string on the first line of the display link the output pin of the concat node with the L1 pin of the quickstart node.

If the quickstart node doesn’t suit your task or the display is of a non-common format try to operate some developer nodes from the library xod-dev/text-lcd library.

Define the display you want to use to start working with it in XOD. Find out how your display communicates and place the appropriate device node from the xod-dev/text-lcd library. These nodes construct and output an lcd-device custom type value which is necessary for further work.

Use the text-lcd-parallel-device node if the display is controlled using a parallel interface. This node allows the display connection only through a 4-bit parallel interface. Here enter the pin values RS, EN, D4, D5, D6, D7. These values correspond to the microcontroller ports through which the display is connected.

Use the text-lcd-i2c-device node if the display communicates via an I2C bus. For this node, the input parameter is the device address. Enter the I2C address of your display to the ADDR pin value.

When the device is initialized, you can display text on it. To output text, use the print-at node. It fits any type of LCD device because it is generic.

The input values of the print-at nodes determine what text to display and where it should be on the display screen. Text to display is set at the VAL pin value. The ROW and POS field values set the cell coordinates on the display for the first character. That’s the place where your text begins. The LEN pin value sets the number of character cells for the text to reserve. The text can’t go beyond the boundaries you specify. It is useful, for example, when the length of your text changes during the program or you want to organize free space between several text parts. Printing is performed when the DO pin receives a pulse.

At first, let’s make a patch to print the "HELLO" text. Put the text-lcd-i2c-device node onto the patch and fill it with parameters. According to the format of the display, the number of columns is 20 and the number of rows is 4. The I2C address of the used display is 0x39 so put the 39h byte to the ADDR pin. Add the print-at node and link it with the device node. Put the HELLO to the VAL input pin.

Add one more print-at node and link with the LCD device bus. Put the "WORLD" word into the VAL field. The new text is on the same line as the previous one so set the ROW value to 1. The POS value now should be calculated. The “HELLO” word begins from the cell with index 4 and occupies 5 cells. By adding one empty cell for space and the “HELLO” word length to the previous text position you can get the POS for the new text: it is 10. Link the input DO pin of the new node with output DONE pin of the previous to execute printing sequentially.

Text displays contain a table of images for each character in their memory. These tables are used to generate letters, numbers and other symbols. Almost always a full list of all available characters can be found in the manufacturer’s datasheet. To display a specific symbol, it is necessary to transfer its hexadecimal number from the sign generator table. Use the \x## sequence to embed the character code in the string.

For example, the display that is used for this example contains five symbols which can indicate a battery capacity level. Hexadecimal codes for these symbols are 9B,9C,9D,9E, and 9F. Let’s try to display these symbols on the 3rd line of the display. Let’s change the previous example patch. Leave one print-at node and set up new printing coordinates. Put the 2 value into the ROW pin and let the POS be 7. Then, put the "\x9B\x9C\x9D\x9E\x9F" sequence of the character codes into the VAL pin…

Make your project or device more attractive and informative with a text display. Get started with quickstart nodes from the xod-dev/text-lcd library. Combine strings using concat. For non-standard cases, dive deeper into the library. Use a device node together with various action nodes, such as set-backlight and clear.

In this tutorial I am going to explain about the pin out, working and control systems of character lcd’s. Character lcd’s comes in many sizes for example 8×1, 8×2, 8×4, 16×1, 16×2, 20×1, 20×2, 20×4, 24×1, 24×2, 24×4, 32×1, 32×2, 40×1, 40×2 and 40×4. In these MxN dimensions, M represents number of coulombs & N represents number of rows.

All these Lcd’s available in market have 14 or 16 pins depending on the vendor/supplier. Also they all contains a same lcd controller in them which controls all their activities. Talks to external peripherals(like microcontrollers) receives data from external devices and displays them on lcd display screen. Generally every character lcd has HD44780 controller in it which controls every operation of character lcd. Some variants and competitors of HD44780 also placed step in embedded market but they are not popular for exampleAIP31066 , KS0066 , SPLC780 and ST7066 lcd controller.

In these 14 pins, 8 are data pins(FromDB-0toDB-7). Three are lcd control pinsRS(Register Select),R/W(Read-Write) &En(Enable). Two are lcd power pinsVcc(+5v)Vss(Gnd). The last pin islcd contrast pin(V0).

If lcd contains 16 pins than the extra 2 pins are LED+ and LED- pins. LED+ and LED- are for lcd’s back light, if you want to switch on the back light of lcd then use these pins other wise leave them void.

Character lcd’s which have pins arranged in two lines like headers, their pin-out is given below. Female header pin-out is shown below. Vendors for ease pre-solder the lcd pins and provide a female header for connections.

Mostly character lcds contains HD44780U lcd controller in them. HD44780 was developed by Hitachi. A single HD44780 can handle up to 80 characters. In 40×4 lcd display total characters which we can display on lcd are 40×4=160. So to control 160 characters we need two HD44780 controllers. To work with two HD44780 controllers we need an extra pin to energize the second controller.

Lcd contrast pin is same like fine tuning your television. In televisions we fine tune stations using remote but in character lcd’s we have to manually do it by varying the resistance. Varying the resistance means we control the input current to lcd. Varying resistance will fade or brighten the characters or data appearing on lcd screen.

Character Lcd’s can be interfaced in 8-bit and 4-bit mode with external controllers. In 8-bit mode all the data lines(DB0-DB7) of lcd are utilized. In 4-bit mode only four data pins of lcd are utilized (DB7-DB4). In 4-bit mode first the 8-bit ASCII value is divided in to two nibbles, first the upper nibble is send on data line and then the lower nibble. 4-bit mode is used when we want to save GPIO pins of our external device like microcontoller. An example of lcd connection with remote controller is shown in the picture below.

I prepared a good tutorial on interfacing character lcd in 8-bit and 4-bit mode with microcontrollers. Demo codes are also presented and explained in the post. Click the below button to take the tutorial.

Dr Pan: Hello, Greg. Character LCD module is one special dot matrix LCD Module with stationary size and resolution, operation voltage, interface, etc.

Take 20*2 character LCD module for example. There are 20 characters horizontally, 2 characters vertically. Each character is a 5*8 dot matrix. Outer dimension 116.0×37.0 mm and active area 73.5×11.5 mm. When you develop a custom dot matrix LCD module, it can be any length and width, resolution, but it takes a lot of time and great efforts to develop it. The most widely used dot matrix LCD modules with specific sizes were made public and it is very convenient for everyone to get them with no tooling fee. You will not have a lot of options when you choose a character LCD module, a custom dot matrix LCD module is still your first choice.
