Graphic LCD not working with c8051f120

Dear Friends,

I have just interfaced a lot of devices with c8051f120 (Si Labs) and was doing good but its been quite a long time and i am not able to get graphics LCD 128x64 to work.

I am using 1K pull ups,also how do i execute the status read instruction. It always returns 0x00 on the port,although i change display on / off.

I am not getting any display on it and also dont know if it is executing the instructions i send or not. I have followed the flow as exactly in the datasheet.

All happens is that during power up,all pixels are 1 for abt a milli second and thats it..Sometimes it takes some random instructions and displays random lines..

Pls help..

  • sure, they want to show you that you can do it "on the cheap". I have seen that 'suggestion'.

    Resistive pullup equals very slow (in digitral terms) risetimes.

    Resistive pullup works just fine for inputs that are not 'slope sensitive' e.g. driving a relay driver, but for clocked devices they spell trouble.

  • Hi, Thanks for showing your interest..

    I used pull ups and got it working quite fine..

    Actually i had made a big blunder-- used the wrong datasheet..on which the pins were different..whew!! thanks god atleast i didnt blow up the lcd..it was an old module and the datasheet looked very genuine..anyways it was much fun workin with a graphic LCD...
