REMOTE INDICATION MODULE LCD DISPLAY BASED
The main result of this work is development of a library of function for LCD-modules based on HD44780/KS0066 controllers with specialized parallel interface as well as design of interfaces converter module «UART (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485) – LCD-module parallel interface» based on the C8051F410 microcontroller, which was created by The Silicon Laboratories company. The library of functions allows to use all types of LCD-indicators with the above-mentioned parallel interface. Interfaces converter module, in turn, allows to use LCD – indicators with standard serial interfaces RS – 232/RS – 422/RS – 48. Thus, LCD – indicators combined with interfaces converter module can be used as a standalone mobile display unit. Possible applications include: industrial equipment, vehicles, information modules in offices and stores, etc. Detailed documentation including timing charts of different modes of LCD – module’s parallel interfaces and flowchart with comprehensive descriptions as well as software was created.
