Hi guys. I'm relatively new to mplab and i am working on a project using assembly language which at some point requires me to display a custom charactor that i created on the 16x2 lcd in 4 bit mode exclusively. Now i know that i need to first set the cg ram address and then load the combination of bits to the cg ram but I cant figure out a way to do so. And i tried searching the web for any refernces but all were written in c. So please guys i really someone to give me an example or a sample code where we display a custom character after creating it on lcd.

 

Google : interfacing lcd 4bits asm
using google to search then you will get a lots of samples, change the keyword then it will show up different infos.

PIC Projects -- Driving LCD 4-bit mode.

 

What do you struggle with regarding LCDs and 4 bit mode? Let us start in that end of the problem

 

LCD datasheet tells what needs to be done to load custom character. It may or many not have step by step instructions.

 

i tried searching the web for any refernces but all were written in c.

I would suggest learing to read code written in C.

Reading code is far easier then writing it, and you get all the steps you need to accomplish your task.

So true, but it still will help much. If your teacher say you must write the program in assembler

 

THe C code examples will tell you what you need to do. You send a command to set CG ram, you send the 8 bytes to load the character into CG ram. Then display is the same as any other characters, user CG ram are 8 locations addressed 0-7.
