    This lab manual covers interfacing a liquid crystal display (LCD) with an ATMEGA16 microcontroller. The objectives are to introduce LCD interfacing and implement it with the ATMEGA16. It describes the LCD module, pinout, interfacing process using control pins like RS, RW and EN. Timing diagrams and the LCD command set are provided. Initialization, character addressing and a microcontroller code structure for LCD interfacing subroutines are outlined. The in-lab and post-lab tasks involve displaying text on the LCD from the microcontroller and scanning a keypad to display pressed keys.

    Objectives:
    Introduction to LCD interfacing with microcontroller.

    Implementation of LCD interfacing with ATMEGA16 microcontroller.

    Tools:
    VMLab, Winavr, Proteus ISIS .
    Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
    The most commonly used Character based LCDs are based on Hitachi's
    HD44780 controller or other which are compatible with HD44580. Below
    given is figure of such an LCD.

    LCD Interfacing:

    R/W pin is used select between the read or write operation. You can either
    send command or either send the required data to display on the LCD. Since
    same pins from D0 to D7 are used for both command and data, RS pin is used
    to identify between the command and data.
    To send command to LCD, we will first set RS pin to zero. If we want to send
    data to LCD, we will set the RS pin as high. EN is enable pin which is used to
    synchronize the whole operation of sending data or command to LCD. The
    LCD will not read any pins for command or data until we give high to low
    transition to enable pin. This is important because we want to make sure that
    the data on the LCD pins is right before LCD reads it. By enable pin we can
    control when LCD should read the data on its pins.
    The above procedure for reading from or writing to LCD is illustrated with the
    help of following timing diagrams:

    Microcontroller coding for LCD interfacing:

    It is suggested that you make three subroutines in addition to main


    subroutine in your code.
    The subroutine for sending command to the LCD will look like:

    The subroutine for sending character to the LCD will look like:
