Electronic – XV0 and V0 – what does it stand for

datasheetdisplayglcdlcd

I'm looking for suitable GLCD, so far I have found the RX12864H, however the datasheet describes a lot of voltages and I'm bit confused.

While the VSS and VDD are clear to me, I have no clue what do the V0, XV0 and VG mean. The internet research lead me to using V0 like contrast adjustment, but I still know nothing about the XV0, and the "LCD driving voltage for common circuits at positive frame" isn't very understandable for me. The datasheet specifies the Vop for typically 10V, which for me looks like really big value for the LCD powered by 3.3V, also I can't find any min/max rating for the VG.

Snip from the datasheet:

You can connect those pins to 3.3v if not mentioned. Anything more than 3.3v without mentioned can be disastrous. The V0, XV0,VG is used to power segment drivers and common circuit drivers inside the LCD. Without powering thses pins,you can't able to see images in LCD but it still accepts the commands and works fine. The Vdd and Vss is to power the microcontroller inside the LCD to work. The V0,XV0and VG is used to power the display to show images.

You can see from the picture that you have COM and SEG lines.These will drive the Liquid crystals inside LCD which inturns shows you as dots. To get that image ,you need to provide separate power right, that is what the purpose of V0,VG and XV0 pins. In datasheet they also have a capacitor between then and ground for avoiding surge voltages and noise from power supply.

You can see that power for display , they provided these pins. I also found the necessary supply that has to be provided from the LCD driver datasheet

Kindly refer ST7567.pdf to know more about driving the display and power supply requirements.

LCD usb controller design – is the pot suitable

PWM using an output from your MCU would be a much better way of controlling the brightness of the LEDs than using a pot connected directly to them. You could read the pot value with an ADC, and use that to control the PWM. You will need a suitable driver, of course, such as a MOSFET.

The AVR you are using isn't suitable for USB; you need one of the USB AVRs, such as the AT90USB162.

The AVR can run at any speed, but it needs a fast clock to handle USB comms. Use delays to slow things down for the LCD.

Electronic – Debugging initialization of LCD with NT7605 driver

Oh, duh, I didn't read your code carefully -- your send SendLcdByte is wrong:

    void SendLcdByte( unsigned char command_0_or_data_1, unsigned char command)
{
    SendLcdUpperNibble( command_0_or_data_1, command);
    // send the lower nibble next
 // AS WRITTEN:
    P1OUT = (command & 0x0F) | (P1OUT & 0xF0);
 // SHOULD BE:
    P1OUT = ((command & 0x0F) << 4) | (P1OUT & 0xF0);
    Strobe( command_0_or_data_1);
}
