16G—2 character lcd display is very basic module which is commonly used in electronics devices and projects. It can display 2 lines of 16 characters. Each character is displayed using 5G—7 or 5G—10 pixel matrix. Interfacing 16G—2 LCD with 8051 using Keil C is bit complex because there is no powerful libraries in Keil C. To solve this problem we have developed a

LCD library which includes commonly used features, you just need to include our header file and use it. You can download the header file at the bottom of this article. LCD can be interfaced with microcontroller in 4 Bit or 8 Bit mode. These differs in how data is send to LCD. In 8 bit mode to write a character, 8 bit ASCII data is send through the data lines D0 D7 and data strobe is given through E of the LCD. LCD commands which are also 8 bit are written to LCD in similar way. But 4 Bit Mode uses only 4 data lines D4 D7. In this mode 8 bit character ASCII data and command data are dividedintotwo parts and send sequentially through data lines. The idea of 4 bit communication is used save pins of microcontroller. 4 bit communication is a bit slower than 8 bit communication but this speed difference can be neglected since LCDs are slow speed devices. Thus 4 bit mode data transfer is most commonly used. //LCD Module Connections sbit RS = PO0; sbit EN = P0; sbit D0 = P2; sbit D1 = P2; sbit D2 = P22; sbit D3 = P2; sbit D4 = P2; sbit D5 = P2; sbit D6 = P2; sbit D7 = P2; //End LCD Module Connections Lcd8_Set_Cursor() & Lcd4_Set_Cursor() : These functions are used to set the cursor position on the lcd screen. By using this function we can change the position of character and string displayed by the following functions.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
