GLCD_Init
{{#Widget:LibTable}}Defination | void GLCD_Init () |
Input Arguments | none |
Return Value | none |
Description | This function is used to initialize the glcd. |
Usage | GLCD_Init() //Initialize GLCD |
GLCD_CmdWrite
{{#Widget:LibTable}}Defination | void GLCD_CmdWrite( uint8_t var_lcdCmd_u8) |
Input Arguments | 8-bit command supported by GLCD. |
Return Value | none |
Description | This function sends a command to GLCD. Some of the commonly used commands are defined in glcd.h. For more commands refer the data sheet. The behaviour is undefined if unsupported commands are sent. |
Usage |
GLCD_CmdWrite(0xB8); //Sets cursor to first line |
GLCD_Clear
{{#Widget:LibTable}}Defination | void GLCD_Clear() |
Input Arguments | none. |
Return Value | none. |
Description | This function clears the GLCD and moves the cursor to beginning of first line |
Usage |
GLCD_Clear(); // Clears the lcd and sets the cursor to beginning of the first line. |
GLCD_GoToLine
{{#Widget:LibTable}}Defination | void GLCD_GoToLine(uint8_t var_lineNumber_u8) |
Input Arguments | uint8_t: Line number to move the cursor. |
Return Value | none |
Description | This function moves the Cursor to beginning of the specified line. If the requested line number is out of range, it will not move the cursor. Note: The line numbers run from 1 to Maxlines.
|
Usage |

Input Arguments |
|
Return Value | none |
Description | This function moves the Cursor to specified position.
|
Usage |
GLCD_SetCursor(1,10); //Moves the cursor to 1st line 11th char. GLCD_SetCursor(5,10); //No action taken as line 5 is out of range |
