Hey,
I'm working on a prototype that requires a custom LCD screen. I have the data sheet for the same but I do not know how to select the LCD Driver and how exactly do we start the code. Can someone suggest the LED driver and a sample code on how those things work?

Thanks

 

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

void setup() {
lcd.begin(16, 2); // initialize the LCD display
lcd.println("Hello, world!"); // display the text "Hello, world!"
}

void loop() {
// do nothing
}

 

Well, you need one that can handle 8 way multiplexing, and at least 18 segments.

This would work

You start the code after you select an LCD Driver -- based on the specifics detailed in the LCD Driver datasheet.

You select the LCD Driver based on the number of back planes, segments, and drive characteristics of your LCD display.

As a head start: ask the manufacturer of the panel if they can recommend a driver for that panel.

Just a side note: I don't like the way they wired the digits in your print. It's going to require some individual (manual) bit-banging to light the proper segments based on BCD input values. I prefer a more consistent layout of my segment/backplane lines for 7 segment digits.

I talked to the manufacturers and they recommend the following driver. Need some help to understand how to begin the code.

That's gotta be the most painful serial I/O scheme I've ever seen.
