3.0 COURSE LEARNING OUTCOME (CLO):
CLO3 : Construct and simulate real-time embedded system application
based on PIC16/PIC18F microcontroller effectively. (P4, PLO5)
4.0 OBJECTIVES :
After practical, the student should be able;
1. to understand the configuration of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
2. to understand how to interface the LCD to the Microcontroller.
3. to write a program for LCD.
5.0 EQUIPMENTS :
SK40C Pic Start Up Kit, MPLAB IDE software, Proteus software
6.0 THEORY :
LCDs (liquid crystal display) are widely used devices that come in different forms that differ in
size and shapes and many other features. However almost all LCDs conform to a standard
interface specification. In our lab we will consider LM016L LCD with size 2*16 (32 characters)
that has a simple interface as shown in the figure.

Function Description
lcd_init ( ) Initialize and clear the LCD display.
lcd_clr ( ) Clear the LCD display and return the cursor to the home position.
lcd_goto( ) Jump to the defined position of the LCD display
Example: lcd_goto(0x07)
send_char ( ) Display a character on the LCD.
send_string ( ) Display a string on the LCD
Example: lcd_pustr (“Hello World”)
lcd_bcd ( ) convert the value in ui_number to BCD (Binary Code Decimal) and
display the digit according to uc_digit needed
Example: lcd_bcd(2,subtraction_value)

DISCUSSION
- Based on this practical work, we making the process of configuration of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
and interface the LCD to the Microcontroller. It is known that we can use either string or char function
to program the LCD to display. In procedure 3A, we have used the char function to programme the
LCD to display a sentence in two lines. The lcd_Goto function is used to move the LCD cursor.
Procedure 3B is like procedure 3A with just displaying different sentences but in Procedure 3B, the
string function is used to display the message. In Procedure C, we implemented using sum and division
in the coding to display the sum of two numbers and the division of the first number by the second
number. In procedure 3D, we implemented if else ladder statement for the coding. The LCD displays
different messages when both switches are Off (Move Motor Reverse), On (Move Motor Forward) or
either one is Off (None) or On (None). For this coding, logical operation (&&) and (||) are used for the
different scenarios. Lastly, we found that there was no error occur in the coding and circuit.
CONCLUSION
- Based on the work performed, we also learned how to understand the configuration of Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) and understand how to interface the LCD to the Microcontroller. We alsu inferfacing
LCD with PIC18F microcontroller with C programming in Matlab is done. The appropriate way to
build a proper circuit for different cases of LCD interface on Proteus for simulation is also learnt. LCD
has been the favourite in replacing LED's due to declining prices of the LCDs and the ability to display
numbers, characters, and graphics. Hence, there is an ease of programming for characters and
graphics. LCD can be easily interfaced with a microcontroller to display a message or status of advice.
The commands instructions given to LCD is to do a predefined task like initializing, clearing the
screen, setting the cursor position, controlling display and so on. In conclusion, knowledge on external
devices that can be interfaced with PIC microcontroller while understanding the internal features of
the PIC microcontroller is learnt. This enabled for the application of the internal features of PIC
microcontroller to interface with external devices and designing real time embedded system
application.
