#include “LCD.h”

Unfortunately, I cannot show this library as it does not belong to me. However, I am using RD4, RD5, RD6, and RD7 for data lines between LCD hardware module and PIC uC.

You could modify and use the LCDBlocking.h and LCDBlocking.c files included with Microchip TCPIP stack.

Moving on next to defining the pyramid custom characters. The pyramid consist of 8 custom characters, defined with an 8×8 array.

   1: const unsigned char p2[8][8] = {{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0x1F},

   2:                                  {0,0,0,0,0,0,0x1F,0x1F},

   3:                                  {0,0,0,0,0,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F},

   4:                                  {0,0,0,0,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F},

   5:                                  {0,0,0,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F},

   6:                                  {0,0,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F},

   7:                                  {0,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F},

   8:                                  {0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F,0x1F}};

 

Once the characters are defined in the code, we need to load those characters into the LCD CGRAM. To do this the following code was used to upload those characters onto the LCD.

   1: /************* LOAD PYRAMID INTO LCD uC ****************/

   2: for(i=0; i<8; i++)

   3: {

   4:     LCDCustomChar(i, p2[i]);

   5: }

   6:  

   7: i = 0;

   8: j = 1;

   9: LED_IO = 0;

  10: LCD_Move(2,2);

  11:     

 

And next, we need the algorithm that will execute the pyramid and perform the animation.

   1: while(1)                                    // Loop infinitly

   2: {

   3:     if (!TMR1Delay)

   4:     {

   5:         //LED_IO ^= 1;

   6:         

   7:         if (i<8)

   8:         {

   9:             LCDReadCustomChar(i++);

  10:         }

  11:         else if(i<17)

  12:         {                

  13:             LCDReadCustomChar(16-i);

  14:             i++;

  15:         }

  16:         else

  17:         {

  18:             LCDErase();

  19:             if(j > 4)

  20:             {

  21:                 j = 1;

  22:             }    

  23:             LCD_Move(j++,2);        

  24:             i = 0;

  25:         }

  26:         

  27:         TMR1Delay = TMR1_DELAY;

  28:     }

  29: }
