After a lot of hours... testing and writing code i did my LCD work! Because it was difficult for me to get it work, i thought that it would be a good idea, to share my code with you, who maybe trying to do the same think with me. Interface a HD44780 to an ATtiny2313. The source code is writen in assembly, it is tested and it works!. Copy it and test it yourself!

I use all PORTB pins for data bus and PORTD pins 4, 5, 6 for E, RS, RW

Code: Select all

.NOLIST ; Don't list the following in the list file
.INCLUDE "tn2313def.inc" ; Import of the file
.LIST ; Switch list on again

.equ	 E=4
.equ	RS=5
.equ	RW=6

.def	temp1= r16
.def	temp2= r17

.cseg
.org	0
rjmp	RESET

rjmp	RESET
rjmp	RESET

RESET:
	;Init Stack Pointer
	ldi	r16, low(RAMEND)
	out	spl, temp1

	;Configure Pins
	ldi temp1,0xFF
	out DDRB, temp1

	ldi	temp1,0x71
	out	DDRD, temp1

	;Wait for LCD to boot
	rcall	wait_LCD

	;Configure LCD
	rcall	init_LCD

       ;Write Char A to LCD	
       ldi     temp1,'A'
	rcall	write_LCD
