Action

Send constant or variable to a SED or other graphical display.

 

 

Syntax

LCDAT y , x , var [ , inv]

LCDAT y , x , var [ , FG, BG]

 

 

Remarks

X

X location. In the range from 0-63. The SED displays columns are 1 pixel width. Other displays might have a bigger range such as 132 or 255.

Y

Y location. The row in pixels. The maximum value depends on the display. The minimum value also depends on the used display. Most displays have minimum value of 0.

KS108 has a minimum value of 1.

Var

The constant or variable to display

inv

Optional number. Value 0 will show the data normal. Any other value will invert the data.

 

For COLOR DISPLAYS

FG

Foreground color

BG

Background color

 

You need to include the glibSED library with :

$LIB "glibsed.lbx"

 

Other libraries must be included with a different directive.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'name                     : sed1520.bas

'copyright                : (c) 1995-2021, MCS Electronics

'purpose                  : demonstrates the SED1520 based graphical display support

'micro                    : Mega48

'suited for demo          : yes

'commercial addon needed  : no

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

$regfile = "m48def.dat"                                   ' specify the used micro

$crystal = 7372800                                         ' used crystal frequency

$baud = 115200                                             ' use baud rate

$hwstack = 32                                               ' default use 32 for the hardware stack

$swstack = 10                                               ' default use 10 for the SW stack

$framesize = 40                                             ' default use 40 for the frame space

 

'I used a Staver to test

 

'some routines to control the display are in the glcdSED.lib file

'IMPORTANT : since the SED1520 uses 2 chips, the columns are split into 2 of 60.

'This means that data after column 60 will not print correct. You need to locate the data on the second halve

'For example when you want to display a line of text that is more then 8 chars long, (8x8=64) , byte 8 will not draw correctly

'Frankly i find the KS0108 displays a much better choice.

 

$lib "glcdSED1520.lbx"

 

'First we define that we use a graphic LCD

 

Config Graphlcd = 120 * 64sed , Dataport = Porta , Controlport = Portd , Ce = 5 , Ce2 = 7 , Cd = 3 , Rd = 4

 

 

'The dataport is the portname that is connected to the data lines of the LCD

'The controlport is the portname which pins are used to control the lcd

'CE =CS  Chip Enable/ Chip select

'CE2= Chip select / chip enable of chip 2

'CD=A0   Data direction

'RD=Read

 

'Dim variables (y not used)

Dim X As Byte , Y As Byte

 

 

'clear the screen

Cls

Wait 2

'specify the font we want to use

Setfont Font8x8

 

'You can use locate but the columns have a range from 1-132

 

'When you want to show somthing on the LCD, use the LDAT command

'LCDAT Y , COL, value

Lcdat 1 , 1 , "1231231"

Lcdat 3 , 80 , "11"

'lcdat accepts an additional param for inversing the text

'lcdat 1,1,"123" , 1  ' will inverse the text
