To display a string on the LCD, just send over SPI the same bytes you would send to LCD, prefixed with the address of the LCD. |
|||
Bytes above 0xf0 are "special". |
|||
0xf0 <xy> is set cursor. the <xy> byte is 3 bit line number and 5 bit position number. This addressing allows up to 8 lines of 32 characters. |
|||
0xf1 is clear LCD. |
|||
0xf2 <addr> is "set address". If you want to change the address the module reacts to. The address is stored in eeprom, and will remain this way after a powercycle. |
|||
0xf3 <contrast> is "set contrast". This will set the contrast to the value you specify. 0x40 is the default that works fine for the LCDs that we have. |
|||
0xf4 <backlight> is the "set backlight intensity" command. This will set the backlight intensity to the value specified. |
|||
0xff <byte> will send the byte to the LCD without special character processing. Tthis allows you to send codes 0xf0 through 0xff to the LCD if required. |
|||
Other bytes are reserved and are currently implemented as a no-op. |
