  1. Choose a Font Generation program that produces Fonts in the format used by your library. Or just say which library / format you are using. Someone will post an 8-pixel and a 10-pixel Arial Font for you. In fact, I would expect your library to provide at least one Font by default.
  2. The following is a discussion threads with several font generator recommendations: Font Generator Bitmap font editor for graphic LCD And a few of my own recommendations: The Dot Factory: An LCD Font and Image Generator MikroElektronika GLCD Font Creator 1.2 BigDog.

LCD Assistant LCD Assistant is a free tool for converting monochromatic bitmaps to data arrays for easy use with programs for embedded systems with microcontrollers and graphics monochromatic LCD displays like a, etc. Program create files for use with any C compiler: for AVR, ARM, PIC, 8051 and ohter microcontrollers. You can use directly with Arduino, mbed and any other design environment based on C compiler.

Integrated Tools Active Comments Editor. Active Comments Editor is a tool. You can launch it from the drop-down menu Tools › Glcd Bitmap Editor. HID Terminal.

If you use graphic LCDs and you want to display pictures, this program is for You! You can draw image in you best graphic editor and save it in *.bmp file. To convert image from bitmap file (or other standard graphics file format) to data array select from File menu command 'Load image'. Glu Credits Hack Android. Next, select byte orientation (for example: vertical for KS0108, SED1520, SPLC0501C etc; horizontal for: T6963C, SED1335 etc). If in data array must be image size (width and height) select 'Include size' checkbox and specify endianness of size (for example: Little endian for AVR; Big endian for ST7). Size are placed in two 16-bit variables at the begin of data array.

Next, specify pixels/byte parameter. If display can support miscellaneous font size (displays with T6963C controller) image can be converted to array of bytes with specified amount of pixels in each byte. At last select from 'File' menu command 'Save output'. Data array will be saved in specified file.

Next, just include this file into project and use array name as parameter for function that displays bitmap on LCD. If you have trouble with use generating file, or program will generate wrong files please let me know.

In the first part of this tutorial, we discussed about Winstar’s WDG0151-TMI GLCD module, which is a 128×64 pixel monochromatic display built with KS0108B and KS0107B compatible display controllers. The module was interfaced to a PIC16F887 microcontroller and a test program was written in C to demonstrate how to implement the KS0108 instruction set in the firmware of PIC to activate display pixels on the screen. We wrote our subroutine programs that would turn the GLCD on, move the display location to a specified row and column, and draw a pixel at a given coordinates. You might have realized it by now that how much of effort is required to write the firmware for just plotting a point on a GLCD screen. Today’s discussion will focus more on using the built-in GLCD library routines of mikroC Pro for PIC compiler, which will make your life a lot easier if you are using a graphical LCD in your project.

GLCD Library of mikroC Pro for PIC

The mikroC Pro for PIC provides GLCD library for a 128×64 pixel graphical LCD with Samsung KS0108/KS0107 controller chips. The library routines are categorized into two types: basic and advanced. Before using any library routine, following pin definitions is required. For our case (see the circuit diagram in the first part) where PORTD is used for data and PORTB pins for control signals, the GLCD pin settings should be defined as follows. Remember that the data lines must be on a single port.

Basic routines:

Glcd
  • Glcd_Init : Initializes the Glcd module
  • Glcd_Set_Side: Selects the Glcd side. Example, Glcd_Set_Side(0) and Glcd_Set_Side(62) both select the left side of the GLCD. Values from 64-127, such as Glcd_Set_Side(67), selects the right side of the GLCD.
  • Glcd_Set_X : Sets x-axis position from the left border of Glcd within the selected side. Example, Glcd_Set_X(25).
  • Glcd_Set_Page : Selects page (0-7) of the Glcd.
  • Glcd_Read_Data : Reads one byte of data from the current location of Glcd memory and moves to the next location.
  • Glcd_Write_Data : Writes one byte of data from the current location of Glcd memory and moves to the next location.

Advanced routines:

  • Glcd_Fill : Fills GLCD display RAM with a byte pattern. If the byte is 0, it will clear the display. If it is 0xFF, then it will fill the entire display with 1.
  • Glcd_Dot : Draws a dot on Glcd at given coordinates with a specified color. It is used as Glcd_Dot(x, y, color), where x = 0-127, and y=0-63, and color = 0-2. The parameter color determines a dot state: 0 clears dot, 1 puts a dot, and 2 inverts the dot state.
  • Glcd_Line : Draws a line joining two specified point coordinates and a given color value (0-2).
  • Glcd_V_Line : Draws a vertical line passing through two points with the same x-coordinate. It also accepts color parameter.
  • Glcd_H_Line : Draws a horizontal line passing through two points with the same y-coordinate. It also accepts color parameter.
  • Glcd_Rectangle : Draws a rectangle with specified top left and bottom right corner coordinates. It also accepts color parameter.
  • Glcd_Box : Draws a box with specified top left and bottom right corner coordinates. Unlike in Glcd_Rectangle, the color parameter here is the fill color of the box.
  • Glcd_Circle : Draws a circle with specified center coordinates and radius. It also accepts color parameter.
  • Glcd_Set_Font: As it was mentioned earlier in Part1, KS0108 controller does not have a built-in character generator and therefore fonts must be written in the firmware of the external microcontroller. This is a time consuming task as you need to determine data values for each letter to display. For simplicity, mikroElektronika provides the following demo fonts with mikroC Pro for PIC compiler.
    • Font_Glcd_System3x5
    • Font_Glcd_System5x7
    • Font_Glcd_5x7
    • Font_Glcd_Character8x7

    These fonts are used by Glcd_Write_Char and Glcd_Write_Text functions (defined below) to display character and text. The syntax for defining font is,

Glcd_Set_Font (const char *activeFont, unsigned short aFontWidth, unsigned short aFontHeight, unsigned int aFontOffs);
