LCD Interfacing ARM LPC2148 Embedded C

LCD Interfacing-ARM LPC2148 

Introduction:

This Code is specially developed for LCD on ALS ARM LPC2148 Evaluation Board.

A 16*2 Alphanumeric display with backlight is provided on Evaluation Board.

• Mode of Operation:- LCD is interfaced using 4 bit Mode.

• Port Details:   P0.2 to P0.7  are used for LCD interfacing.

RS = 0 for sending Command to the LCD, controlled by port P0.2

RS = 1 for sending Data to the LCD, controlled by port P0.2

EN = 0 for disabling the LCD ,controlled by port P0.3

EN = 1 for enabling the LCD, controlled by port P0.3

D4 to D7 (P0.4 to P0.7) – data lines
