MSP430FG4619 interfaces with LCD display

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FG4618, MSP430FG4619

Hi guys, I kinda need advice here, I am doing a project involves LCD display, the MCU I am using now is MSP430FG4618/9, I do not know how to choose a suitable LCD unit.

For example, choose parallel or serial.

Anyone can help me with it, thanks.

    It's impossible to give advice without any details of your particular requirements.

    We don't even know what type of "LCD" you're talking about :

    • simple segment display?
    • character display?
    • graphics?
    • or what??

    Look at what's available; examine their specifications; consider their prices; consider what demands they place upon your microcontroller...

    Look at similar projects, and see what they used!

  • Hi Andy,

    Thank you for your reply. Now I am using MSP430FG4619 to interface with NHD‐C12832A1Z‐NSW‐BBW‐3V3, a LCD using 4 pin SPI driver.

    Since the MCU is master and does not need to receive anything from LCD, so I leave pin SOMI unconnected, is this the correct way to do it or should I connect it to somewhere?

    When I debug my program, I noticed that both UCOE and UCLE were set, they are both error flag for RXBUF, but I am not using it, does it affect anything?

    Thank you.

    Regards,

    Vance
