SDD1289 Controllers

This section covers GLCD devices that use the SDD1289 graphics controller. The SDD1289 is a 240 x 320 single chip controller driver IC for 262k color (RGB) amorphous TFT LCD.

The GCBASIC constants shown below control the configuration of the SDD1289 controller.    GCBASIC supports SPI hardware and software connectivity - this is shown in the tables below.

GCBASIC supports 65K-color mode operations.

To use the SDD1289 driver simply include the following in your user code. This will initialise the driver.

    #include <glcd.h>
    #DEFINE GLCD_TYPE GLCD_TYPE_SDD1289
    'Pin mappings for SDD1289
    #define GLCD_DC     porta.0           'example port setting
    #define GLCD_CS     porta.1           'example port setting
    #define GLCD_RESET  porta.2           'example port setting
    #define GLCD_DI     porta.3           'example port setting
    #define GLCD_DO     porta.4           'example port setting
    #define GLCD_SCK    porta.5           'example port setting

The GCBASIC constants for control display characteristics are shown in the table below.

This example shows how to drive a SDD1289 based Graphic LCD module with the built in commands of GCBASIC.

Example:

    ;Chip Settings
    #chip 16F1937,32
    #config MCLRE_ON

    #include <glcd.h>

    'Defines for SDD1289
    #define GLCD_TYPE GLCD_TYPE_SDD1289
    'Pin mappings for SDD1289
    #define GLCD_DC porta.0
    #define GLCD_CS porta.1
    #define GLCD_RESET porta.2
    #define GLCD_DI porta.3
    #define GLCD_DO porta.4
