![]() R/W (Read/Write): It determines the data direction (this pin can be tied to VSS to save an I/O-pin on the controller, but this will make it impossible to read back status from the display, so all data must be sent slow enough to live up to the worst-case delays found in the data- sheet), If the pin is low, either an instruction is being sent to the LCD or the execution status of the last instruction is read back (whether or not it has completed). ![]() If the pin is high, then the byte at the current LCD Cursor Position can be read or written. RS (Register shift): This pin is used to select whether data or an instruction is being transferred between the microcontroller and the LCD. ![]() You may also like to read lcd interfacing with Arduino Hitachi HD44780 LCD module pinout The correct timing of the control signals is generated by software therefore any AVR with at least seven free I/O pins can be used.Apart from the data-bus, 2 or 3 control-lines are needed, namely RS (Register shift), R/W (Read/Write) and E (Enable). In 4-bit mode data is send using two four bit nibbles (First high four bits and then low four bits with an E Clock pulse with each nibble). The HD44780- based LCD unit can be operated in two modes, 8-bit and 4-bit mode. LCD interacing have many applications in microcontrollers based projects. For Display Hitachi HD44780 based character LCD modules are used.
