TivaC with 5110 Nokia LCD

[khahuras 0]

Hi all,

I have some troubles with Nokia 5110 LCD to run on Tiva C using Energia. Here is my full code.

 

I wire as below:

PA_7,    // Chip Select

PA_2,    // Data/Command

PB_5,    // Reset

PA_6,    // Backlight

PB_4 = SCK (2) = Serial Clock

PB_7 = MOSI (2) = Serial Data

 

I'd done compiled and uploaded the code onto the chip but there was nothing displayed on the 5110 Screen. I still can toggle the backlight on/off by the push button, it means that the loop is running. I think there may be some issues with the SPI driver.

 

Thank you a lot,

 

For your easy reference, I post the main .ino code here for preliminary skimming:

  SPI.setClockDivider(SPI_CLOCK_DIV128); // for LM4F120H5QR DIV2 = 4 MHz !
#endif


  myScreen.begin();


  myScreen.setBacklight(backlight);
  myScreen.text(0, 0, "Hello!");


  delay(1000);
  myScreen.clear();
  myScreen.text(0, 5, "Light off");
}


// Add loop code
void loop() {
  if (myScreen.getButton()) {
    backlight = (backlight==0);
    myScreen.setFont(0);
    myScreen.text(0, 5, backlight ? "Light on " : "Light off");
    myScreen.setBacklight(backlight);
  }


  myScreen.setFont(1);
  if (k==0)   myScreen.text(0, 2, " MSP430");
  else if (k==8)   myScreen.text(0, 2, "  LM4F  ");


  myScreen.setFont(0);
  for (uint8_t i=0; i<14; i++) myScreen.text(i, 4, (i==k) ? "*" : " ");
  k ++;
  k %= 14;


  delay(200);

You need to use the pins numbers instead of the ports and bits names.

 

Please refer to the pins maps at http://energia.nu.

Thanks Velo, but I'm afraid I don't fully understand. Do you mean to change the following lines? (e.g. change PA_7, PA_2... into pin numbers)

#if defined(__MSP430G2553__)
LCD_5110_SPI myScreen;
#elif defined(__LM4F120H5QR__)
LCD_5110_SPI myScreen(PA_7,    // Chip Select
PA_2,    // Data/Command
PB_5,    // Reset
PA_6,    // Backlight
PUSH2);  // Push Button 2
#endif

As what I done I can still toggle the backlight after uploading the code. It means using port names didn't affect, isn't it?

[Rei Vilo 695]

Yes, replace PA_7 by 10.

I've change as what you suggested, but... no hope.

 

#if defined(__MSP430G2553__)
LCD_5110_SPI myScreen;
#elif defined(__LM4F120H5QR__)
LCD_5110_SPI myScreen(10,    // Chip Select
11,    // Data/Command
2,    // Reset
9,    // Backlight
PUSH2);  // Push Button 2
#endif
boolean backlight = false;
uint8_t k = 0;

How about the Serial clock and Serial data? I connected them to PB_4 and PB_7 respectively.

It seems very weird. This project (5110 LCD) and the LCD 16x2 project, and also a 7-segment LED project I run successfully on Arduino. However using Tiva C with Energia it didn't work although I used the pin numbers instead of port names. Is there anything to do with the clock frequency that affects the timing (tiva C is much faster than Arduino?)

[Rei Vilo 695]

Try and comment the pre-processor statements.

 

Have a look at Problem with CC3200 and LCD5110 Library http://forum.43oh.com/topic/7768-problem-with-cc3200-and-lcd5110-library/

hello, i have the 5110 working with tivaC. i think i had to change the spi clock divider and spi mode.

 

also i remember, different batches of screen from different sources required different settings.
