LAUNCHXL-F280039C: LAUNCHXL-F280039C

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F280039C

Hello,

I am trying to interface the 20x4 LCD display with the LAUNCHXL-F280039C

Unfortunately, I am not able to print any character on the display and the display is only showing the boxes on the 1st and 3rd row.

The connection diagram is done as per the below image

I am very new, working on microcontrollers, so if I have done some silly mistake please correct me

Thank you 

  • Hello Vishal,

    Which TI device are you using as your microcontroller? Your post says the F28003x, but your diagram is using an MSP device (MSP and C2000 are different families). Also, you will need to be specific when you say that you're not able to display a character; is the LCD a TI-produced product?

    If not, and you're certain the problem is with the MCU and not the LCD, then can you please verify the outputs of the GPIO to confirm you are outputting the expected values? If the signals that the GPIO is outputting are not expected, then please confirm the GPIO register configurations in CCS debug mode > Registers.

    Best regards,

    Omer Amir

  • Hello Omer,

    Actually, connection was same as per the MSP device Image but instead of MSP device I used F28003x (taken the reference for connection).

     The initialization and connection of GPIO pins is different.

    Thank you for suggesting me to check the GPIO pins, now the lcd display is working well.
