MSP430 - interface to LCD ( char 4x24 or wider)

Hi there,

Is there an application note available on how to interface a character LCD to MSP4304794 or MSP430F6x

Thanks in advance

Claus

  • Hi Claus.

    I think you are looking for a solution which can drive 4 x 24 LED characters meaning 4 x 24 x 7 segments which is above the capability for MSP430.

    In this forum there are several threads about interfacing alphanumeric LCD with an included standard controller.

    The posted code in these threads is for 1x16 or 2x16, but it should not be difficult to change it to support more lines of more chars, as long as the controller is the same or compatible.

    The 4x series MSPs are for directly interfacing controllerless glass LCD. Here the limit is 192 segments (48x4 multiplexed). Which isn't sufficient for character display at all (a single full graphical character takes 48 to 64 segments depending on pixel resolution). It is rathe rmeant for pre-shaped icons and 7-segment numerical displays.
