Re: LCD display Busy Flag



I need to use a 4x20 lcd but it's my first time to use suce a device. Can
you suggest any online material that I can read so that I can implement the
LCD display on my project? I'm using a zilog mcu and I have enough pins for
all the pins of the lcd.

What Zilog part are you using? Z8? Z80? eZ80?

I just saw some wonderful replies to your earlier query
leading to the Optrix page with data and examples:

and this site

There are many piggyback/daughterboards for LCDs
that convert them to RS232/serial, so they're easier to use.
Many of them publish the schematic and software
and detailed "gotchas" of the interface.
Dale Wheat's "PIC-an-LCD" A Character-Based Serial LCD Controller
was published in Circuit Cellar Inc. Issue #206 September 2007
