'''''THIS WIKI PAGE IS CURRENTLY WORK IN PROGRESS'''''

The '''HD44780 module''' provides support for common '''alphanumeric character LCDs''' using Hitachis HD44780 and compatible controllers.

= Supported LC-Displays =

The vast majority of all alphanumeric LC-Displays use Hitachis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitachi_HD44780_LCD_controller HD44780]
dot matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) controller. The e6 HD44780 module supports displays of many different sizes utilizing the
original HD44780 and compatible controllers.

Alphanumeric LCDs are mainly distinguished by their size, the start-address of the per line Display Data-RAM (DDRAM) and the controller type.
The original HD44780 controllers can drive up to 80 characters - most displays with more characters use two independent controllers.

The following table lists the LC-displays supported by the e6 HD44780 module by size and per line DDRAM start-address:

= Pinning =

HD44780-based alphanumeric LCDs are connected via 8 databus-lines (D0..D7) and 3 control-lines (RS, EN, R/W). Displays with more than 80 characters usually utilize a second controller and require two EN-signals EN1 and EN2. Another signal BL is needed if backlight control ist required. To save some i/o-pins the HD44780 controller also supports a 4 Bit mode, using only D4..D7. The HD44780 module supports this 4 Bit mode only. Note that in general the signals D0..D3 should not be left open, use a pull-down or tie them to ground.

Most displays use 14, 16 or 18-pin connectors with common pinouts but there are sometimes subtle differences. Beside the control- and data-signals all displays require a supply voltage Vdd, usually +5 V, for the logic circuits and another voltage Vo for the display itself. The later is usually derived using a trimmer which allows for contrast adjustment. Some displays require a ''negative'' voltage for the display.

Please refer to the datasheet of '''your''' display! Wrong connections may lead to a permanent damage.

The HD44780 module supports four different types of connection: Direct, I2C, Serial and 2-Wire.

== Direct ==

The LCD signals RS, RW, EN (resp. EN1 and EN2), D4..D7 and BL are directly connected to AVR port pins. The driver makes no assumptions about the pin mapping, arbitrary pins from different ports may be used to drive the LCD signals. This connection type is Readback-capable.

The following example maps the LCD pins to AVR port pins found on the 25 pin Sub-D connector of the Pollin AVR Net-IO board:

<code>
dnl Direct connection example
dnl map LCD pins to Pollin AVR Net-IO
dnl 25 pin extension port
ifdef(`conf_HD44780', `
pin(HD44780_RS, PC4)
pin(HD44780_RW, PC3)
pin(HD44780_EN1, PC2)
dnl pin(HD44780_EN2, PC5)
pin(HD44780_D4, PA0)
pin(HD44780_D5, PA1)
pin(HD44780_D6, PA2)
pin(HD44780_D7, PA3)
')

ifdef(`conf_HD44780_BACKLIGHT', `
pin(HD44780_BL, PC6, OUTPUT)
')
</code>

== I2C ==

The I2C connection type supports either the 8 Bit PCF8574x, as it is found on the Pollin AVR Net-IO Add-On board, or the 16 Bit MCP23017 I2C Port Expander.

LCDs up to 80 characters and only one HD44780 controller may be connected to a PCF8574x including the backlight control pin. LCDs with more than 80 characters require a second enable pin. The address of the port expander and the pinning for the LCD has to be specified for your hardware using the macros shown below. The macro HD44780_PCF8574x_MAPPING defines the pinning for displays with only one enable signal and backlight control, the macro HD44780_PCF8574x_MULTI_MAPPING for displays with two enable signals. Note that backlight control is not supported when using the HD44780_PCF8574x_MULTI_MAPPING macro. The pinning shown in the examples below matches the pinning found on the Pollin AVR Net-IO Add-On board. Remember that you have to replace the inverting backlight control circuitry with a direct connection to connect displays with two enable signals to this board.

The macros HD44780_MCP23017_MAPPING and HD44780_MCP23017_MULTI_MAPPING are used to map the LCD pins to one port of the MCP23017. Note that you have to specify either port A or B as shown below, mapping using mixed pins of both ports is not supported by the driver. The additional macro HD44780_MCP23017_MULTI_MAPPING_BL may be used to specify a backlight control signal on another MCP23017 port when the first port is occupied by a display with two enable signals. The driver exclusively controls the pin specified, the other 7 port pins may be used for different purposes.

</code>

== Serial (using 74HCT164) ==

The LCD is connected using a 74HC(T)164 shift register. Refer to Ulrich Radig's [http://www.ulrichradig.de/home/index.php/software/avr-webserver-software avr-webserver] for an example of this connection type. The connection is uni-directional, so no Readback. Don't use if speed is important, especially not for larger displays.

</code>

== 2-Wire (using 74HCT4094) ==

The LCD is connected using a 74HC(T)4094 shift register. Refer to [http://www.cczwei.de/atm18_downloads/071148-D%20CC2-AVR-board-2.pdf this] paper for an explanation and example of this connection type. The connection is uni-directional, so no Readback. Don't use if speed is important, especially not for larger displays.

== Serial (using 74HCT164) ==

The LCD is connected using a 74HC(T)164 shift register. Refer to Ulrich Radig's [http://www.ulrichradig.de/home/index.php/software/avr-webserver-software avr-webserver] for an example of this connection type. The connection is uni-directional, so no Readback. Don't use if speed is important, especially not for larger displays.

<code>
dnl serial connection requires three AVR port pins
pin(HD44780_SER_D, PD4)
pin(HD44780_SER_CLK, PD3)
pin(HD44780_SER_EN1, PD2)
</code>

== 2-Wire (using 74HCT4094) ==

The LCD is connected using a 74HC(T)4094 shift register. Refer to [http://www.cczwei.de/atm18_downloads/071148-D%20CC2-AVR-board-2.pdf this] paper for an explanation and example of this connection type. The connection is uni-directional, so no Readback. Don't use if speed is important, especially not for larger displays.
