Component: LCD SPI (MiniClick) (Alphanumeric)

Post by andeug »

Hi,

The LCD Mini Click component from Mikroe / Mikroelektronika appears to have a component in the library, which is documented on https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wiki/index.p ... hanumeric).

On the description page, it says "Generic alphanumeric LCD display based on the standard Hitachi HD44780 controller IC", but when I looked into the datasheet of the LMB162XFW LCD, it gives references to ST7065 and ST7066U, and not HD44780:

Is there an error on the Matrix TSL Wiki page regarding the controller of the LMB162XFW LCD? Additionally, it is not entirely clear to me whether the component referred to as Mikroe "LCD Mini Click" (MIKROE-2453) is being documented on the Wiki page, or if it is another product.

Hello.
As far as I'm aware the HD44780 is compatible to LMB162XFW
The ST7066U timings, instruction set and interface is compatible with HD4478
There is a document that mentions the mini click and HD44780
https://onlinedocs.microchip.com/oxy/GU ... AEA87.html
At the time of creating the Component: LCD SPI (MiniClick) (Alphanumeric), research would have been carried out first.
I don't believe that page is wrong.
