Did I ruin my glcd?

I have a 12864F glcd with a toshiba controller. I have been unable to get the thing to work properly, and fear i may have damaged it somehow. I had it hooked up least week to a pic micro, and could only get it to display garbled text, and was trying to display lines, rectangles, etc. I decided to re-solder some wire to the connector, and attached those to single row headers to fit better into my breadboard.(the garbled text would chnge if i bumped the wires, and that prompted my decision to make sure the connections were decent) I don't think I got the glcd too hot when I did this, but I suppose anything is possible. Everything is hooked up correctly, and I even have a 10k pot connected between -V, +V and Vo for the contrast control, but nothing is being displayed. Could I have damaged the lcd? Is there any way to check if the lcd is damaged?

Thank for the support CF, you are unbelievable!

Is this because there is nothing to sell here that you do not answering the question?

If you think the display is damaged, please write support@crystalfontz.com to arrange a replacement. Generally we are quite supportive if the customer is willing to take some blame for the blue smoke ;)

In most cases where the display will not work in a breadboard or hand wired connection, the wiring is the culprit. Breadboards are notorious for making poor or intermittent connections. In a prototype setting like this, it is also really easy to accidentally smoke the display. One half of a second with the power leads reversed can mean the end of the road for a display.

Sorry, but you still do not give any answer to his question, who was pretty simple: how do we know if our display is out of order?
Let's assuming, as an example, that we did not ever see our LCD working fine; how do we know if the problem comes from the software or if it is the LCD display, maybe fried out? My LCD display, CFAG12864 (as you may know...), with my poor coding skills, shows just some chaotics stripes... so, as I spent 5 weeks on it, and found many many librairies about it, and it still doesn't work, I was just wondering if the LCD could be broken...

How can I know??

You have to put it into a known good working system.

This is very hard in your case, since we do not know if your hardware and software is all working correctly.

We can test it here, but shipping displays around quickly costs more than the display, which is why I suggested you contact support, since they have some leeway when handling issues like this.

The only way I can think of to "prove" that a display module is good is to have a hardware setup that is known to work with other display modules, and is known to have software that is compatible with your display's controller.

So there are three things needed for success:
1. A working display
2. Correct connections to a microprocessor
3. Software that produces the correct commands at the proper timing.

You would assume the display is good unless you can prove that #2 and #3 are good, but still no image on screen.

To prove #2 & 3, you will need test equipment, both hardware and software. The prime tool is an oscilloscope to view the data and control signals being sent by the software. A software debug method may be helpful to single-step through your code, line by line, while using a meter or scope to verify that each data and control signal is correct for that step of the code.

If you don't have access to these test tools, then you should buy a ready made development board that includes the same type of display, to use as your "known good" setup. For example, the CFA demo board http://www.crystalfontz.com/product/DMOG12864BWGHN.html is available for the "B" display, but I don't see one for the "F" display.

Thank you for your quick and very helpful answer.

I will paste here this evening (I'm at my workplace right now) the hardware scheme, made with Eagle, so you will have a better view on what I have done until now. I will post my source code too... actually just some little part of it for wich I'm not very confident.

Talk to you later, and thank you again.

I think it looks like a standard hookup that should work. The part number for the LCD is not familiar to me, who is the manufacturer and which controller IC does the display use?

Seems that my link to the scheme has disappear! I will fix it... this evening.

I'm happy that you had the time to have a look on it cosmicvoid.

The display is an CFAG12864 from Crystalfontz... with KS0107; actually, I'm a student group member, I'm not the one who made this scheme, my role is to test it, maybe my friend didn't use the right standard; I do not have the scheme with me right now so I can't say, but I have not noticed that...I will send him an e-mail to figure it out,l if you think there is a problem with it.

Here is the driver I'm sutck with:

driver.c:

I have some doubts in the way to use it; I guess I have to adapt some little things, since I use an external crystal at 16Mhz instead of 18,..Mhz used in this code, but I don't know exactly how to change it. There is probably some other little thing I miss.

Thank you for your help!

It looks like the "driver.c" and "driver.h" files are incomplete (much stuff is missing) in the post you made, but in the email notice I got for your post, it seems to have some of the missing parts. I wonder why it did not post correctly.

For example, LCD_BusyWait() and LCD_Init() are missing from your post, and the LCD_PutChar() is much different in the email than it is in your code box posting :confused: . Maybe it would be a better idea to attach the 4 files instead of putting the text in a code box. Now, I am not really sure if anything else is screwed up, and I don't want to spend time looking at your code if it has parts missing.

I'm wondering what went wrong...

I attached a .zip to this post, hope it is complet this time!

Oh, and this is, again, my scheme, who disappeared above:



I really hope you will help me to figure out what goes wrong with my stuff; thank you for your interest.

I have downloaded your code, and I have a CFAG12864B module, so when I get some free time in the next day or two, I will try your code on my development board (with minor changes to suit my Zilog cpu).

I have compiled your code, but I have a major problem :( . My development board has strangely died and I can't download to it. So, it will take a week for me to get a replacement board to continue. Sorry.

Don't worry, I am not to one week or two. Sorry for your board! :(

However, can you tell me if you see any obvious error in the code that I could have miss?

I didn't see anything obviously wrong with the code. But if something like a signal is inverted, or a missing statement, I probably wouldn't notice it, until the display did not show the correct image.

Aha!

Well, I received my replacement cpu board today, and I tried out your code. There were some minor modifications necessary for my cpu (like the DDR polarity was opposite for input and output than yours, and re-assign I/O port pins to match my cable, etc.), and threw away the timer and keypress stuff that was not compatible with my cpu.

I must say... I was amazed that the code works with no debugging needed :). It may be that signal timing could be improved, but I did not even connect the oscilloscope, so I don't know. I could also give you some suggestions to make your code more compact, but the essence is that your display should work with this code.

So if your display doesn't work, then it is probably a wiring or other hardware problem (or your display is really dead).

Well thank you very much! :)

Knowing that the code is correct is an excellent news. Right now I am breadboarding, however the PCB is on soldering so I will be able to test it in about two days or so. I'm still wondering what's wrong with my stuff; I followed the scheme I posted here, same code... I'm pretty sure that I miss something with the STK500.

Anyway, thank you again cosmicvoid, you should hear some news from my stuff very soon. :)

Hi,

as the code is correct, I decided to breadboarding the entire stuff, with ATMega32 also on the breadboard. To do so, I have to know Cosmicvoid if you followed the scheme I posted here to make everything work fine. You, or even someone else, can assure me that the scheme is correct?
The PCB soldering isn't going well at the moment, deadline is coming, so that's why I switched to breadboard.

Thank you
