hey guys..
i wanted certain help from u..can anyone give me a small code in c only to display a scrolling text on any lcd(particularly 16x2)..i am using a arm controller..
thnx..

[jcl]

I doubt it. Even if we could we'd need more information; there are thousands upon thousands of ARM µcs.

[iccaros]

yes, more information

is the LCD direct connected, parallel or serial LCD. are using a LCD interface. there is no such thing as code that will work on any LCD, as all LCD's or most, use different pin outs.

and which ARM


PIC code could be like this

extern unsigned char delayus_variable;

#if (PIC_CLK == 4)
	#define dly125n please remove; for 32Mhz+ only
	#define dly250n please remove; for 16Mhz+ only

timeouts:

C code for testing with unsigned chars & ints, using simulator for verification:

unsigned char timeout_char;
unsigned int timeout_int;
volatile unsigned char x=0,y=1;	//good practice, make main/int vars volatile

while(1)
{
	//for max 491512us timeout @ 8Mhz
	//for max 245756us timeout @ 16Mhz
	timeout_int=timeout_int_us(500);
	b;
	while(timeout_int-- >= 1)
	{
		if (x==y) break;		//typical overhead for checking ring buffer
	}
	b;

	//for max timeout of 1147us @ 8Mhz
	//for max timeout of 573us @ 16Mhz
	timeout_int=timeout_char_us(500);
	b;
	while(timeout_char-- >= 1)
	{
		if (x==y) break;		//typical overhead for checking ring buffer
	}
	b;

}

Time taken:	optimisations on:		9cyc/number loop, 4.5us @ 8Mhz
			with extra check ie:	&& (RB7==1), +3cyc/number loop, +1.5us @ 8Mhz

Formula:	rough timeout value = (<us desired>/<cycles per loop>) * (PIC_CLK/4.0)

*/

#define LOOP_CYCLES_CHAR	9							//how many cycles per loop, optimizations on
#define timeout_char_us(x)	(unsigned char)((x/LOOP_CYCLES_CHAR)*(PIC_CLK/4.0))

#define LOOP_CYCLES_INT		16						//how many cycles per loop, optimizations on
#define timeout_int_us(x)	(unsigned int)((x/LOOP_CYCLES_INT)*(PIC_CLK/4.0))

thnx guys.. that code worked with little bit of changes..i just needed d concept of it.i translated it into arm code..thnx..
