ST7735 TFT Vertical Scrolling

This post shows how to make the ST7735 SPI TFT display vertically scrolling using PIC18F4550 microcontroller and CCS PIC C compiler.
The CCS C codes below are tested with versions 4.068 and 5.051.
For this project we need a driver for the ST7735 TFT display which can be found in the following post:
ST7735 SPI TFT Display Driver for CCS PIC C compiler
And the following post show how to interface ST7735 TFT display with PIC18F4550 microcontroller:

ST7735 TFT Vertical Scrolling with PIC18F4550 circuit:
The circuit schematic of all our examples below is as shown in the following image.

PIC18F4550 MCLR pin function is disabled in the code.
ST7735 TFT top to bottom and bottom to top vertical scrolling:
To make the TFT scrolls first we have to set the window that we would like to scroll, this is done using the following command:
setScrollDefinition(TFA, BFA, _scroll_direction);
Where TFA is top fixed area and BFA is bottom fixed area (in pixel)
_scroll_direction can be 0 or 1( 0 for to to bottom and 1 for bottom to top).
Example:
setScrollDefinition(40, 20, 1);
That makes the TFT display area from pixel 40 to pixel 140 (160 - 20) scrolls from bottom to top.
If TFA = BFA = 0 the whole screen is selected to scroll as shown in the example below.
Another command is required to make the TFT scrolls which is:
VerticalScroll(_vsp);
Where _vsp is an unsigned int8 number which controls the level of the scroll.
Example 2:
The following example shows how to make TFT scrolls from top to bottom:
Here TFT = BFA = 0.

The following video shows the result:

If the line: setScrollDefinition(TFA, BFA, top_to_bottom); changed to:
setScrollDefinition(TFA, BFA, bottom to top);
then we will see the following result:

This is an other example for ST7735 TFT vertical scrolling.
In this example the scrolling direction is from bottom to top.
After every scrolling process the microcontroller deletes the data that may appear in the bottom of the screen by drawing a horizontal line.

PIC12F1822 DAC Module

This small post shows how to start using PIC12F1822 DAC (Digital-to Analog Converter) module.
PIC12F1822 microcontroller has 1 DAC module. The DAC can be used to supply analog voltage on RA0 pin with 32 selectable output levels.
The input of the DAC can be connected to:

• External VREF pins
• VDD supply voltage
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)

DAC Block diagram is shown below:

 

With CCS PIC C compiler we can initialize the DAC module using the following command:
setup_dac(int8 mode);
Where mode can one of the following modes:
DAC_OFF  0                                            // DAC disabled
DAC_VSS_VDD                                      // Negative source is VSS and positive source is VDD
DAC_VSS_VREF                                    // Negative source is VSS and positive source is Vref+ pin
DAC_VSS_FVR                                      // Negative source is VSS and positive source is FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)
The DAC output can be enabled using the following line which or'ed with above in setup_dac() using |.
DAC_OUTPUT                                       // Enable ADC output on RA0 pin.
Controlling the output of the DAC is also easy with CCS PIC C compiler and for that we have to use the following command:
dac_write(int8 value);
Where value should be a 5-bit number which varies between 0 and 31.
The DAC output voltage is determined by the following equation assuming that the DAC is enabled (DACEN bit is 1):

The DAC 32 levels are set with DACR[4:0] bits which is done using dac_write() command.
Assume that we've PIC12F1822 microcontroller with +5V power supply, the DAC is configured with VSS and VDD as negative and positive sources and the DAC output is enabled.
Minimum Vout voltage when DACR[4 : 0] = 0b00000 equals to 0V.
Maximum Vout voltage when DACR[4 : 0] = 0b11111 equals to 4.84V
Writing DACR[4 : 0] = 0b00000 is done using: dac_write(0);
And DACR[4 : 0] = 0b11111 is dac_write(31);

PIC12F1822 DAC Module Example:
This is a small example for the DAC module. Example circuit schematic is shown below.

PIC12F1822 internal oscillator is used.
A potentiometer is used to control the DAC output.
A voltmeter is connected between pin RA0 which is the DAC output (DACOUT) and the ground to see the variation of the voltage according to the potentiometer position.

Interfacing PIC12F1822 with ST7735 SPI TFT display

This post shows how to interface PIC12F1822 microcontroller with ST7735 SPI TFT display using CCS PIC C compiler.
For this interfacing we need a driver for the TFT display. Driver topic at the following link:
ST7735 SPI TFT Display Driver for CCS PIC C compiler
Or you can just download it directly from the following link:
ST7735 SPI TFT Display Driver
Put the downloaded C file in your project folder.
Required Components:

• PIC12F1822 Microcontroller
• ST7735R (or ST7735S) 1.8" SPI TFT Display
• 5 x 1K Resistors
• +5V Power Supply Source
• Breadboard
• Jumper Wires

PIC12F1822 and ST7735 SPI TFT Example Circuit:

In this project PIC12F1822 internal oscillator is used and MCLR pin function is disabled.
PIC12F1822 and ST7735 SPI TFT Example CCS C code:
PIC12F1822 Has 1 SPI module, this module is used in this interfacing.
My TFT display is ST7735R Black Tap (ST7735S) and for initializing this type of TFT display I used the following line:
TFT_BlackTab_Initialize();
If you have a TFT display with green or red tabs or a TFT with ST7735B controller read the driver topic above.
Note that green, red and black tabs have the same controller ST7735R.
The following line enables internal oscillator @ 8MHz and also the PLL which makes the microcontroller runs at 32MHz (8MHz x 4).
setup_oscillator(OSC_8MHZ | OSC_PLL_ON);
This code is compiled with CCS PIC C compiler versions 5.051.

Real time clock with remote control and ST7735 TFT display

Remote controlled real time clock using PIC18F4550 and DS1307

 

(Some knowledge about RC-5 protocol is required)
This project shows how to build a remote controlled real time clock with TFT display using PIC18F4550 microcontroller.
In this project DS1307 RTC is used as a real time clock chip and the remote control is an IR (infrared) remote control which uses RC-5 communication protocol, this remote control is used to set time and date. The device used t display time and calendar is 1.8" ST7735R (ST7735S) SPI TFT display.
To display the ST7735 TFT display with PIC18F4550 microcontroller we need a driver, this driver and some other details about this display can be fount at the following url:
ST7735 SPI TFT Display Driver for CCS PIC C compiler
And the post at the following link shows how to interface this display with PIC18F4550 microcontroller:
Interfacing PIC18F4550 with 1.8" TFT display
Or simply you can download the ST7735 TFT driver from the following link:
ST7735 SPI TFT Display Driver
The method used to decode RC-5 signals is described in the following topic:
RC5 IR Remote Control Decoder with PIC12F1822 Microcontroller
The decoding process follows the state machine show below:

Where:
SP : Short Pulse (About 889µs)
LP : Long Pulse (About 1778µs)
SS: Short Space (About 889µs)
LS : Long Space (About 1778µs)
Basically there are 4 states: Mid1, Mid0, Start1 and Start0.
Components List:

• PIC18F4550 Microcontroller
• ST7735R (ST7735S) 1.8" SPI TFT Display
• DS1307 RTC Chip
• RC-5 IR Remote Control
• IR Receiver
• 8MHz Crystal Oscillator
• 32.768KHz Crystal Oscillator
• 2 x 22pF Ceramic Capacitors
• 47uF Capacitor
• 3 x 10K Resistor
• 5 x 1K Resistors
• 3V Lithium Coin Cell Battery
• +5V Power Supply Source
• Breadboard
• Jumper Wires

For the DS1307 RTC chip there are many topics in this blog talking about it and how to interface it with different types of PIC microcontrollers for example the topic at the url below:
Real time clock with PIC18F4550 and DS1307 RTC
Real time clock with remote control and ST7735 TFT display circuit:
The following image shows our project circuit schematic where the microcontroller runs with 8MHz external crystal oscillator.

Real time clock with remote control and ST7735 TFT display CCS C code:
In this project the microcontroller runs with 8MHz external crystal oscillator and to make it runs at full speed which is 48MHz we have to use the following fuses:
#fuses NOMCLR HSPLL PLL2 CPUDIV1
Where: PLL2 enables the PLL and divide it by 2
and if for example the crystal oscillator frequency is 12MHz so we have to change PLL2 to PLL3 and so on.
CPUDIV1: No system clock postscaler
PIC18F4550 Microcontroller has only 1 MSSP module which can be configured to work as SPI module or I2C module. In this project we need SPI protocol for the TFT display and I2C for DS1307. Since the TFT display needs a high speed SPI interface, I used PIC18F4550 hardware SPI module to communicate with the TFT display and I implemented a software I2C protocol for DS1307, the following line is used to create a simple software I2C:
#use I2C(master, SDA = PIN_D3, SCL = PIN_D2)
So DS1307 SDA pin is mapped at RD3 and SCL at RD2.
The remote control used in this project is shown below with button codes. This IR remote control is just a TV remote control which use RC5 communication protocol:

Only 3 buttons are used and the rest have no effect on the circuit.
The button codes displayed in the picture above are the address and command codes combined together. The RC-5 code message is 14 bit long, 2 start bits, a toggle bit, 5 bits as address and 6 bits as command. For example select button which has an address of 0 and command of 0x3B which gives a 16-bit number of 0x3B (toggle bit is neglected).
The toggle bit toggles between 0 and 1. Every time a button is pressed the toggle bit changes. If a button is pressed and kept pressing the toggle bit changes only at the first time and the remote control keep sending the same code of the pressed button with the same toggle bit.
From that I used the toggle bit to check if the select button is pressed again or kept pressing in order to avoid jumping from parameter to another and if you want to go from paramter to another you have to repress the select button.
For the other two buttons (up & down) the toggle bit is not used in order to speed up the setting of the parameters.
The output of the IR receiver is connected to RB2 pin which is external interrupt 2 pin. When the receiver receives an IR signal its output falls (goes form 5V to 0) which makes the microcontroller interrupts. When the mcu interrupts it jumps to interrupt routine ( void ext2_isr(void) ) and starts decoding the IR signal. Timer1 is used to measure pulses and spaces comes from the remote control. The microcontroller decodes the signal according to the state machine above. The interrupt is stopped during DS1307 reading or writing and also during sending data to TFT display.
The following code is tested with CCS PIC C compiler versions 4.068 and 5.051.
