    Hi everyone.

    I saw the Interfacing LCD with PIC Microcontroller – MPLAB XC8 on electroSome and I did the circuit. It works fine! But I’m wondering. Is there a way to create custom character?

    Try the following code :

    const unsigned short MyChar5x8[] = {
            0x04, 0x0E, 0x1F, 0x0E, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,  // Code for char num #0
            0x1F, 0x11, 0x11, 0x11, 0x11, 0x11, 0x11, 0x1F,  // Code for char num #1
            0x0E, 0x11, 0x1B, 0x11, 0x15, 0x11, 0x11, 0x0E,  // Code for char num #2
            0x00, 0x11, 0x1F, 0x11, 0x1B, 0x0E, 0x04, 0x00,  // Code for char num #3
            0x04, 0x0E, 0x1F, 0x0E, 0x04, 0x04, 0x04, 0x04,  // Code for char num #4
            0x04, 0x04, 0x04, 0x04, 0x04, 0x1F, 0x0E, 0x04,  // Code for char num #5
            0x1F, 0x00, 0x04, 0x04, 0x0E, 0x00, 0x00, 0x1F,  // Code for char num #6
            0x1F, 0x15, 0x15, 0x15, 0x15, 0x15, 0x15, 0x1F   // Code for char num #7
            };
    void InitCustomChars()
    {
      char i;
      Lcd_Cmd(0x04);
      Lcd_Cmd(0x00);
      for (i = 0; i <= 63 ; i++)
        Lcd_Write_Char(MyChar5x8[i]);
      Lcd_Cmd(0);
      Lcd_Cmd(2);
    }
    
    void main()
    {
      ....
      ....
      Lcd_Init();
      ....
      ...
      InitCustomChars();
      ....
      ...
      do
      {
         ''''
         ....
         Lcd_Set_Cursor(1,1);
         Lcd_Write_Char(0); //Displays First Custom Character
         ...
      }
    }

    I’m sorry, before I make this post I tried to search but it seems like I failed.

    Thank you 🙂

    I tested the above code in PROTEUS, it seems to be working..

    I felt sorry because I did another post about the same subject, I should search more. The code works fine.
