18F4620 – 2 x I2C LCD with PCF8574
To my English language readers
The following article is in French.
Here is a summary:
How to display on a I2C LCD using a PCF8574 and a PIC 18F4620.
The Proteus project is available here.
Note: source code is commented in English.
Mise en situation
Contrairement à nos amis Arduiniens, quand vient le moment d’interconnecter des périphériques à une puce PIC, c’est souvent la recherche sans fin dans Internet.
Pour Pic, moins de librairies spécialisées comme : LiquidCrystal , Wire, Ethernet, Firmata, Servo, WiFi, TFT, EEPROM.
Arduino supportant un nombre limité de puces, cela rend la normalisation des librairies plus simple.
De plus, un grand nombre de contributeurs aident à enrichir les outils de développement.
De retour chez PIC
Parfois, interfacer une puce PIC à un périphérique est assez facile, LCD sous PIC, d’autres fois, pas vraiment.
Tentez de trouver une solution pour connecter un écran LCD en utilisant le protocole I2C via une puce PCF8574.
Le genre de circuit mille fois disponible sur eBay.
Vrai, il existe des solutions à gauche ou droite, mais quelle misère…
Pour en arriver à une solution fonctionnelle, il faut ramer!
Scénario 1
Le module PCF8574 n’est pas documenté:
ou est RS, CS, E?
et pour le data?
Dans mon cas, j’ai du passer à l’ohmmètre les broches RS, RW,E et D4 à D7 de mon afficheur I2C LCD made in China,
Résultat:
Data PCA8574: P7,P6,P5,P4
Control: P3: Back Light, P2: E-Enable, P1:RW, P0: RS
Scénario 2
Vous avez trouvez un bout de code mais misère, pas le bon compilateur, la bonne famille ou le bon langage…
Scénario 3
Vous avez la documentation en main et tout va bien, chanceux!
Scénario 4
On vous fournit une solution – Proteus – clé en main, possible? Voir le lien de téléchargement au bas de l’article.
Fonctionnement de la plaquette I2C vers LCD
Les plaquettes de conversion des écrans LCD de I2C vers BUS LCD 4 bits utilisent, généralement, la puce PCF8574 ou la PCF8574A.
Ce circuit a pour fonction de désérialiser les données du BUS I2C vers un octet donc, de présenter l’information en parallèle sur 8 bits.
Les écrans LCD HD44780 1602 pouvant être opérés en mode 4 bits, il sera alors possible d’utiliser une partie de l’octet (nibble du bas) pour les signaux de contrôle : RS, RW, E, retro éclairage et l’autre partie (nibble du haut) pour les données.
La difficulté sera de combiner correctement les signaux de contrôle et les données dans un même octet.
L’extraction des nibbles d’un octet de données est habituellement obtenu ainsi:
#define HI_NIBBLE(b) (((b) >> 4) & 0x0F)
#define LO_NIBBLE(b) ((b) & 0x0F)
Étant donné que les signaux de contrôle du LCD sont connectés sur les broches P0 à P3 du PCF8574 et les données sur P4 à P7, nous utiliseront plutôt l’approche suivante:
#define LO_NIBBLE(b) (((b) << 4) & 0xF0)
#define HI_NIBBLE(b) ((b) & 0xF0)
Pour l’ajout des signaux de contrôle à un des deux nibbles nous utiliseront des opérations bit à bit (Bitwise operation).
Par example,
lcddata = HI_NIBBLE(data) | LCD_BL | LCD_RS;
Adresse I2C de PCF8574
L’adresse I2C de PCF8574 est située dans la plage 20H à 27H et de 38H à 3Fh pour PCF8574A.
En utilisant ces deux puces dans un même circuit, il serait possible de connecter 16 écrans LCD.
Voici les tableaux d’adressage:
Dans la cas des plaquettes que j’utilise, les broches d’adressage de PCF8674 (A0..A2) sont connectées à VCC via une résistance de tirage (pull-up resistor). L’adresse maximale de 27H est donc obtenue par défaut.
Il suffit de souder un cavalier sur les bornes A0..A2 pour ramener les broches à 0 et faire ainsi varier l’adresse I2C du circuit.
À bien y regarder, pas si simple
Même si vous avez bien saisie l’arithmétique des nibbles et les opérations bit à bit, ce n’est encore pas suffisant pour afficher sur l’écran LCD. Pour ce faire, il faudra aussi comprendre la mécanique de programmation et la synchronisation des signaux de la puce contrôlant l’affichage: HD44780.
Dans le code source du projet, il y a la séquence suivante :
void LCD_init(unsigned char addr)
{
__delay_ms(20); // Wait > 15 ms after power ONLCD_putcmd(addr, LCD_INIT_BYTE,0);__delay_ms(5); // Wait > 4.1 ms
LCD_putcmd(addr, LCD_INIT_BYTE,0);
LCD_putcmd(addr, LCD_INIT_BYTE,0);
LCD_putcmd(addr, LCD_BUS_WIDTH_4Bit,0);
LCD_putcmd(addr, LCD_4BITS_2LINES_5x8FONT,1);
LCD_putcmd(addr, LCD_DISPLAY_OFF_CURSOR_OFF_BLINK_OFF,1);
LCD_putcmd(addr, LCD_CLEAR,1);
LCD_putcmd(addr, LCD_INCREMENT_NO_SHIFT,1);
LCD_putcmd(addr, LCD_DISPLAY_ON_CURSOR_OFF,1);
} // LCD_init()
Ces instructions servent à initialiser le LCD en mode 4 bits, à allumer l’écran, à masquer le curseur, …
Remarquez que des délais sont insérés ici et là. Il y a des délais aussi dans la fonction LCD_putcmd.
Ces délais sont importants pour assurer le bon fontionnement de l’écran.
Pour connaître les commandes de contrôles et les délais de programmation de la puce HD44780, je vous revoie à la documentation.
Le projet
Après deux jours de recherches et de prototypage, j’en suis arrivé à une solution de contrôle de deux (2) LCD via I2C pilotés par 2 puces PCF8574.
Mes recherches, dans Internet, m’ont amené à plusieurs endroits, mais la source d’information que j’ai retenue est situé à l’adresse suivante: http://paulfjujo.free.fr/_18FxxKxx/Test_LCD_I2C_PIC18F26k22.htm.
Paul Freyer propose un prototype fonctionnel de l’utilisation d’une PCF8574.
Je me suis inspiré de son approche.
Voici la solution:

Ping : PIC 18F – I2C LCD display using a PCF8574 | ve2cuy
First, thanks for posting this – it enabled me to quickly bring up a 2 LCD project I’m working on. However, I found I needed the communication to the LCDs to go much faster. This project operates at a 10Hz refresh rate, and I was spending 40ms of that just writing to the LCDs. After a bit of datasheet study, I found that one can write a stream to the PCF8574. That is: Start Addr Data Data … Stop will result in the data output being updated on each data byte without having to resend the address for each nibble. The result on a one-byte write to the LCD is 5 I2C character times instead of 8 for a single character write. A stream of many chars can be sent. For a 5-character write to the LCD, the result is 21 I2C byte times versus 40, nearly doubling the throughput to the LCD.
The relevant code is below. I’m doing this as a hobby project – feel free to share or use this any way you like.
I intend to make a backpack using a PIC processor instead of the PCF8574, with
2 addresses. Communication with one address will mimic the PCF8574 but allow much higher clock rate to get around the 100khz limitation of the PCF8574, while communication with the other address will do a byte-write to the LCD in 2 I2C character times, and write N bytes in N+1 I2C character times. If this backpack is operated at 400khz instead of 100 khz, the result will be an 8x speed improvement over the original implementation.
Thanks again – your routines were a big help.
Best regards,
Jim

Thanks for the basics of HD, an PCF, I f you want something about development, please contact me Im from mexico.
Bonjour – I just found this post and have tried to run the Proteus file.
However, I get the following Proteus/xc8 compiler error:
…..
Warning at file ../main.c line 62 column 1: (361) function declared implicit int
Error at file ../main.c line 62 column 9: (192) undefined identifier « MASTER »
Error at file ../main.c line 62 column 17: (192) undefined identifier « SLEW_OFF »
Warning at file ../main.c line 71 column 48: (359) illegal conversion between pointer types
…..
This is from the line in main.c : OpenI2C(MASTER, SLEW_OFF);
It’s not clear to me where this routine is to found. What have I missed?
Thanks…
OK, I’ve discovered that Microchip no longer includes its Peripheral Libraries in xc8 (after v1.34, I believe). The peripheral libraries include their i2c libraries. So that’s why the above Proteus / xc8 project won’t compile if downloaded from here with unless an old version of xc8 is used….
Hi, I found your page very interesting, and wanted to go deep into, but I saw that the latter comment says there are no more Peripheral Libraries embedded in Xc8. So I wanted at least download your Proteus project in the hope it were working as is. But when I tried, I had the damn google access page that forbid me to enter, as I am not the owner of your account. Can you please give me another address for downloading it?
Kind regards
Alberto
