GLCD doesn’t work

cglcdstm32f10x

I have a ts12864a-2v2 LCD and I think its controller is KS0108B. I have downloaded this lib to use it for my LCD and also my MCU is STM32F103RET6. the schematic I have used to connect LCD to MCU is this:

figure1

And the MCU's pins are connected to the LCD like this:

MCU       LCD
PB0  -->  DB0
PB1  -->  DB1
PB2  -->  DB2
PB3  -->  DB3
PB4  -->  DB4
PB5  -->  DB5
PB6  -->  DB6
PB7  -->  DB7
PB8  -->  RES
PB9  -->  R/W
PB10 -->  E
PB11 -->  CSA
PB12 -->  CSB

please consider the D/I pin is NC(not connected). is it neccessory? I couldn't find anything about it in the KS0108-STM32.c file.

And the circuit is this:

figure2

The KS0108-STM32.c is this:

#include "stm32f10x.h"

Alright, so far so good! I compiled the program and downloaded it to the MCU correctly and easily! ok, let's to turn on the circuit. all things I can see is just this:

figure3

Why?
also I have checked out the MCU's pins and I saw this:

figure4

more zoom:

Why the GLCD doesn't work?

Best Answer

Maybe because the D/I pin is disconnected...? That pin is very much needed to make the LCD work - it's what selects whether you are sending Data, or Instructions to the LCD.

If you don't tell it what kind of bytes you're throwing at it are, how can it hope to work out what to do with them?

In your library it is known as the RS pin - Register Select. Some also refer to it as the C/D pin - Command / Data.
