The document outlines an experiment to interface an LCD with the 8051 microcontroller (AT89C51) to display the message 'ElectroSome Hello'. It includes the theory behind LCD usage, the algorithm for interfacing, and a sample C code for implementation. The experiment was simulated using Proteus and Keil, with results verified visually in Proteus.

AIM: To interface LCD using 8051 microcontroller and displaying
characters (AT89C51).

Tools: Keil uVision 4, ISIS Proteus 7

Theory: It is very important to keep a track of the working of almost all


the automated and semi-automated devices, be it a washing
machine, an autonomous robot or anything else. This is achieved
by displaying their status on a small display module. LCD (Liquid
Crystal Display) screen is such a display module and a 16x2 LCD
module is very commonly used. These modules are replacing
seven segments and other multi segment LEDs for these purposes.
The reasons being: LCDs are economical, easily programmable,
have no limitation of displaying special & even custom characters
(unlike in seven segments), animations and so on. LCD can be
easily interfaced with a microcontroller to display a message or
status of a device. This topic explains the basics of a 16x2 LCD
and how it can be interfaced with AT89C51to display a character.

A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there
are 2 such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in 5x7
pixel matrix. This LCD has two registers.
1. Command/Instruction Register- stores the command
instructions given to the LCD. A command is an instruction given
to LCD to do a predefined task like initializing, clearing the
screen, setting the cursor position, controlling display etc.
2. Data Register- stores the data to be displayed on the LCD. The
data is the ASCII value of the character to be displayed on the
LCD

The AT89C51 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit


microcomputer with 4K bytes of Flash programmable and
erasable read only memory (PEROM). The device is
manufactured using Atmel’s high-density non-volatile memory
technology and is compatible with the industry-standard MCS-51
instruction set and pin-out. The on-chip Flash allows the program
memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional
non-volatile memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit
CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C51 is a
powerful microcomputer which provides a highly-flexible and
cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications.

Algorith  Firstly, initialize all the ports.
m:  Initialize the LCD to turn it ON and to a form that it is
ready to accept commands.
 Now command the LCD to write.
 Display the contents using the required functions.

Output :

Conclusi Thus, interfacing LCD with AT89C51 and displaying characters


on: was simulated using proteus with the help of keil. The result were
visually verified using Run feature in proteus.
