simon 1:ac48b187213c 28 * Initialisation
simon 1:ac48b187213c 29 * ==============
simon 1:ac48b187213c 30 *
simon 1:ac48b187213c 31 * After attaching the supply voltage/after a reset, the display needs to be brought in to a defined state
simon 1:ac48b187213c 32 *
simon 1:ac48b187213c 33 * - wait approximately 15 ms so the display is ready to execute commands
simon 1:ac48b187213c 34 * - Execute the command 0x30 ("Display Settings") three times (wait 1,64ms after each command, the busy flag cannot be queried now).
simon 1:ac48b187213c 35 * - The display is in 8 bit mode, so if you have only connected 4 data pins you should only transmit the higher nibble of each command.
simon 1:ac48b187213c 36 * - If you want to use the 4 bit mode, now you can execute the command to switch over to this mode now.
simon 1:ac48b187213c 37 * - Execute the "clear display" command
simon 1:ac48b187213c 38 *
simon 1:ac48b187213c 39 * Timing
simon 1:ac48b187213c 40 * ======
simon 1:ac48b187213c 41 *
simon 1:ac48b187213c 42 * Nearly all commands transmitted to the display need 40us for execution.
simon 1:ac48b187213c 43 * Exceptions are the commands "Clear Display and Reset" and "Set Cursor to Start Position"
simon 1:ac48b187213c 44 * These commands need 1.64ms for execution. These timings are valid for all displays working with an
simon 1:ac48b187213c 45 * internal clock of 250kHz. But I do not know any displays that use other frequencies. Any time you
simon 1:ac48b187213c 46 * can use the busy flag to test if the display is ready to accept the next command.
simon 1:ac48b187213c 47 *
simon 1:ac48b187213c 48 * _e is kept high apart from calling clock
simon 1:ac48b187213c 49 * _rw is kept 0 (write) apart from actions that uyse it differently
simon 1:ac48b187213c 50 * _rs is set by the data/command writes
