HI there
I am working on a little monitoring project. I am using the PIC18F4550 micro as it supports 13 ADC and USB. Now I finished the A/D conversion and USB communication with the PC my data is finally displaying correctly on the PC GUI.
The problem is that I want to also display this information on a character LCD and i want the microcontroller to send the data directly to the LCD
I am new to LCD technology and seeking for some direction in whats the best way to communicate with a LCD.
I noticed that the Crystalfontz LCD use USB to feed the data, can someone send me some links or give a quick run through on how to configure a micro with the USB LCD.
For example is it a high or low speed USB transfer/ or is it a RS232 to USB.
Also how can u get the PIC to recognize the LCD, is there a driver provided for microcontrollers as well?
There is support for the PC "Virtual COM port" driver. But what about microcontrollers?
Thanks so much
