Hi , I am leaning to interface 16*2 LCD with my ATMEGA 328 micro.
I googled a lot but unfortunately most of the tutorials focused a lot on programming aspect without revealing the detailed working of LCD .
I am looking for tutorial which also focuses on hardware aspects (from an interfacing perspective)of LCD .
Kindly point out appropriate sources.

 

Assuming this is the typical character LCD screen seen all around...

Here are a few links I had lying around in my references:

• http://embedded-lab.com/blog/?p=203
• http://codeandlife.com/2012/02/13/8-bit-and-4-bit-lcd-interfacing-with-attiny/
• http://robo.fe.uni-lj.si/~kamnikr/sola/urac/vaja3_display/How%20to%20control%20HD44780%20display.pdf
• http://www.bipom.com/documents/appnotes/LCD%20Interfacing%20using%20HD44780%20Hitachi%20chipset%20compatible%20LCD.pdf

Personally, I prefer the last two(the PDFs), they go into detail about the hardware...

What compiler are you using? C ++, PASCAL, BASIC ??
The simplest method for interfacing a LCD2x16 is 4 bit mode. See mikroC for AVR help.

 

I use AVR gcc .

 

Thanx Tschuck .
THE LAST TWO SOURCES WERE GOOD.
