EXPERIMENT--04-INTERFACING-AN16X2-
LCD-DISPLAY-WITH-ARM AND DISPLAY
STRING
Aim: To Interface a 16X2 LCD display to ARM controller ,
and simulate it in Proteus
Components required: STM32 CUBE IDE, Proteus 8
simulator .
Theory
The full form of an ARM is an advanced reduced instruction set computer (RISC)
machine, and it is a 32-bit processor architecture expanded by ARM holdings. The
applications of an ARM processor include several microcontrollers as well as processors.
The architecture of an ARM processor was licensed by many corporations for designing
ARM processor-based SoC products and CPUs. This allows the corporations to
manufacture their products using ARM architecture. Likewise, all main semiconductor
companies will make ARM-based SOCs such as Samsung, Atmel, TI etc.
What is an ARM7 Processor? ARM7 processor is commonly used in embedded system
applications. Also, it is a balance among classic as well as new-Cortex sequence. This
processor is tremendous in finding the resources existing on the internet with
excellence documentation offered by NXP Semiconductors. It suits completely for an
apprentice to obtain in detail hardware & software design implementation.

LCD 16X2
16×2 LCD is named so because; it has 16 Columns and 2 Rows. There are a lot of
combinations available like, 8×1, 8×2, 10×2, 16×1, etc. But the most used one is the
16*2 LCD, hence we are using it here.
All the above mentioned LCD display will have 16 Pins and the programming approach
is also the same and hence the choice is left to you. Below is the Pinout and Pin
Description of 16x2 LCD Module:
4-bit and 8-bit Mode of LCD:
The LCD can work in two different modes, namely the 4-bit mode and the 8-bit mode.
In 4 bit mode we send the data nibble by nibble, first upper nibble and then lower
nibble. For those of you who don’t know what a nibble is: a nibble is a group of four
bits, so the lower four bits (D0-D3) of a byte form the lower nibble while the upper four
bits (D4-D7) of a byte form the higher nibble. This enables us to send 8 bit data.
Whereas in 8 bit mode we can send the 8-bit data directly in one stroke since we use all
the 8 data lines.
8-bit mode is faster and flawless than 4-bit mode. But the major drawback is that it
needs 8 data lines connected to the microcontroller. This will make us run out of I/O
pins on our MCU, so 4-bit mode is widely used. No control pins are used to set these
modes. LCD Commands:
There are some preset commands instructions in LCD, which we need to send to LCD
through some microcontroller. Some important command instructions are given below:
Hex Code

Procedure:
1. click on STM 32 CUBE IDE, the following screen will appear
2. click on FILE, click on new stm 32 project
3. select the target to be programmed as shown below and click on next
4.select the program name
5. corresponding ioc file will be generated automatically
6.select the appropriate pins as gipo, in or out, USART or required options and
configure
7.click on cntrl+S , automaticall C program will be generated
8. edit the program and as per required
9. Add necessary library files of LCD 16x2 , write the program and use project and
build
10. once the project is bulild
11. click on debug option
12. Creating Proteus project and running the simulation We are now at the last part of
step by step guide on how to simulate STM32 project in Proteus.
13. Create a new Proteus project and place STM32F40xx i.e. the same MCU for which
the project was created in STM32Cube IDE.
14. After creation of the circuit as per requirement as shown below
14. Double click on the the MCU part to open settings. Next to the Program File
option, give full path to the Hex file generated using STM32Cube IDE. Then set the
external crystal frequency to 8M (i.e. 8 MHz). Click OK to save the changes.
