Cornerstone Electronics Technology and Robotics II LCD Lesson 3 Administration: Prayer LCD PicBasic Programming: New PICBasic Command: POT: Format POT Pin,Scale,Var Reads a resistive component (5K to 50K) such as a potentiometer on Pin. Pin may be a constant, 0-15, or the usual pin format, PORTB.0. See the green microEngineering Labs PicBasic Pro Compiler manual and the table on the next page to set the Scale. Example: POT 0,178,x ‘POT reading on Pin RBO assigned to variable, x. Scale = 178 to give a full range of values, (0 to 255) for the variable, x.

Several DEFINE statements follow: DEFINE LCD_DREG sets the LCD data port. DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTA ‘Sets PORTA as LCD data port DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTB ‘Sets PORTB as LCD data port If an 8-bit data bus is used, all 8 bits must be in one port If a 4-bit data bus is used, the top 4 LCD data bits (DB4-DB7) must be either wired to the bottom 4 or top 4 bits of the port selected. For example, if DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTB is declared, then the top LCD bits DB4-DB7 must be connected to RB0-RB3 or RB4-RB7 (see DEFINE LCD_DBIT immediately below). PicBasic Pro
