Trouble CFAG240128L - PSoC

ctorres · Feb 22, 2008

I'm trying to use a graphic LCD (CFAG240128L) to display some data from PSoC (CY8C27XXX). I found a program for to drive the Graphic LCD with a AVR but I don't know how adapt it for PSoC http://en.radzio.dxp.pl/t6963/ . I find a post in psocdeveloper forum with code for T6963C too but I don't know how do it works... http://www.psocdeveloper.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1020&highlight=t6963

I tried to use the 240128L_Wintest but doesn't work. I run BMP2ASM and only appear a msdos windows and close it immediately.

If anyone had work with this LCD or something similar I'd be very pleased to help me.

Help me please!

Thanks.

BMP2ASM is just a little DOS utility to read in a bitmap file and write out the data to initialize an array to show that image in the Wintest program. You do not need to run it, since the WinTest example already has the bitmaps as initialized arrays.

The WinTest programs are just quick utilities that we put together to photograph the LCDs. Please read the post here: https://forum.crystalfontz.com/showthread.php?t=3257

Working with these graphic LCDs is quite a job. It is an order of magnitude more difficult than the character displays, which are in turn more difficult than the USB or serial displays.

In your particular situation, I think you are making a lot of work for yourself using the PSoC. Use an Atmel ATmega2561 and then you could dispense with the external memory, and have enough power to work the LCD without being up against the wall all the time. Even scrapping the processor at this "late" stage would probably get the project completed more quickly. That is your call though.

The controller is a Toshiba T6963. Here is the full data sheet:

You may be able to find some T6963 code for the PSoC that is already ported:

This is the only section you need from the sample code:

It is important to get the macros at the top right "CLR_RD", "SET_RD". Those will change for every processor. Do not worry about the sleeps, that is an artifact of not having good low-level control in a user application under Windows.

Thant code should get the display initialized, porting this should put up a bitmap:

Code:

void DisplayOneBmp(uchar *puts)
{
     uchar i,j;
     uint  X=0;
     LocateXY(0,0,Graphic);
     LcmWriteCommand(0xB0);                  //auto write
     for(i=0;i<LcmWidthDots;i++)
     {
          for(j=0;j<LcmLengthDots/8;j++)
           {
                 LcmWriteData(puts[X]);
                 X++;
           }
     }
     LcmWriteCommand(0xB2);                  //inject write
}

The code in those wintest programs is what we use to power up the modules for photographs, so we know it does work, but it is typically not very pretty.
