You're a master.

I have a project for a DDS signal generator using the LaunchPad, an AD9850 board and the 5110 display. My goal for today was to "try to talk" with the 5110 LCD. You saved me a lot of work!

Thanks a lot.

@Yannick

 

You're welcome!

I've included Bryan Schremp's work and updated the library.

 

The library for the Nokia 5110 LCD now supports both LaunchPad and StellarPad.

 

 

See commit 95c33da pending approval.

 

Download it from http://github.com/energia/Energia/tree/master/examples/7.Display/LCD_5110

Rei Vilo,

I must be slow, but can not see a zip tag to download your Lib. at Github.

Ignore me, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Either

Here is a library for the Nokia 5110 display on Energia using hardware SPI. Speed is faster!

 

Enjoy

#include "SPI.h"

 

 seems to be required instead of

 

 

#include "spi.h"

@Rei Vilo - two comments:

1. in example LCD_5110_SPI_main.ino for LM4F120H5QR (line 93)
command SPI.begin(2); sets ssPin to 2(PB_5) but above is set to PA_7.
Maybe this mean a spi bus number, but in this case we need set first:
SPI.setModule(2);
SPI.begin(PA_7); or SPI.begin(10);

 

BTW - maybe we also don't need to set:

pinMode(_pinChipSelect, OUTPUT);

inside LCD_5110_SPI.cpp->void LCD_5110_SPI::begin()...

because in SPI.cpp->void SPIClass::begin(uint8_t ssPin)

is set to OUTPUT too...

 

2. in LCD_5110_SPI.cpp

void LCD_5110_SPI::write(uint8_t dataCommand, uint8_t c) {
    digitalWrite(_pinDataCommand, dataCommand);
    
    digitalWrite(_pinChipSelect, LOW);
    SPI.transfer((char)c);
    digitalWrite(_pinChipSelect, HIGH);
}

I think it should look like:

void LCD_5110_SPI::write(uint8_t dataCommand, uint8_t c) {
    digitalWrite(_pinDataCommand, dataCommand);
    SPI.transfer(_pinChipSelect, (char)c);
}

because procedure SPI.transfer automatically sets ssPin to LOW before send data and
after sets ssPin to HIGH (of course if You dont set transferMode to SPI_CONTINUE )

 

I have tested this solution and it works properly with other device (nRF24L01+) in the same spi bus

Thank for the feed-back and the useful comments. 

 

1. That's fixed now. 

 

Initialisation of _pinChipSelect is done line 72 of LCD_5110_SPI.cpp

 

void LCD_5110_SPI::begin() {
    pinMode(_pinChipSelect, OUTPUT);
    ...
}

 

 

2. I'm not sure to understand the comment.

 

As far as I've understood, the master SPI selects the slave it wants to talk to through _pinChipSelect.

 

SS is for slave select when SPI is in slave mode.

about 2:

I think that the lines:

CS_LOW and CS_HIGH are not needed

when you replace SPI.transfer((char)c);

by another call: SPI.transfer(_pinChipSelect, (char)c);

which execute SPIClass::transfer(uint8_t ssPin, uint8_t data) -> SPIClass::transfer(uint8_t ssPin, uint8_t data, uint8_t transferMode)

where lines:

169 sets CS 5110 to LOW and

176 sets CS 5110 back to HIGH

Thanks for the explanation, it's clear now!
