PCD8544 - Nokia 5110/3310 LCD - beta plugin

#1 Post by adampr1 » 27 Jun 2016, 15:26

Hi to all, first of all I'm not programmer man and my native language is not English :)
So I'd like to present modified OLED plugin (in BETA stage) to support Nokia 3310 LCD (PCD8544). (Its not finish) and if some one can help to make it better - is welcome.
Its use (Adafruit-PCD8544 and Adafruit GFX library - version for ESP8266 ) with small modification in Adafruit-GFX library to support 14 characters in line (please modify line 82 from "wrap = true" to "wrap = false").
It's not clean, more garbage from OLED-plugin but I have not much time to make it clean - maybe someone ? And maybe remove Adafruit library and build in direct in PCD8544 plugin like OLED-plugin
Hiere is that code:

Please use it as STARTPOINT - ALFA version but it work for me now.

PS. Hope it will good start point.

Hi,

this is a interesting plug-in project for use PCD8544 based lcd display but i need some more details to use it.
the library used is https://github.com/bbx10/Adafruit-PCD85 ... ee/esp8266 ?
that are the modification for the ESPEasy.ino file ? ( i supposed there his some has a test to compile tthe file you provide fail ! )
final question his about how you connect PCD8544 display with also use of I2C, all connection that i find used SDA and SCL pins from ESP8266 module

thank the the help you can give me.

Sorry to ask,

I guess I am in a very similar situation. I have done some wifi battery powered nods measuring external values and now I am thinking about doing something more exciting. But I need to control proximity sensor MPR121 and a 8x8 led with MAX7219 driver. I have found the libraries for these to run with ESP. Now the quest is to write own plugins to make them work within ESPEasy sw. How did you find how to make the plugin please...as this seems to be big task for me just sneaking into Arduino/ESP programming for several nights... Is there any to do/ follow guide how to do it?

Hello i took above code and made it works.. at least for me :D
we also need lib from link above.
Pinout is:
Adafruit_PCD8544(14, 13, 12, 5, 4);

Code: Select all

// pin 14 - Serial clock out (SCLK)
// pin 13 - Serial data out (DIN)
// pin 12 - Data/Command select (D/C)
// pin 5 - LCD chip select (CS)
// pin 4 - LCD reset (RST)
Edit: updated a bit, added rotation.

Edit2: updated to use gpio to turn off/on backlight, added loging and UserVars, cleanup.. didnt tested cmds yet and i probably wont since i dont need it,

Warning: Check if current of backlight isnt bigger than 15mA if powered from pin, or 20mA for sink

Nice work however I have compiler errors

Hello
Do the same esp8266 will it work?
Will it be possible to obtain readings for example. DHT22?
How to connect the display directly to esp8266 12E?
Regards

Yes , the PCD8544 is connected direct to ESP8266 in hardware SPI configuration (in my example - ESP-07). I'll post today complete how-to based on modification from 7_lol (post No 4). It's working GREAT !!!

hier is modified version of 7_lol plugin for Hardware SPI and my connection (picture under code part).
Pleas check if you display have equal pin sequence :
PIN1 > Vcc,
PIN2 > GND,
PIN3 > SCE,
PIN4 > RST,
PIN5 > D/C,
PIN6 > DIN,
PIN7 > SCLK,
PIN8 > LED

IMPORTANT - in ESPEasy configuration it shows as I2C device with suggest that PIN 4 and 5 are used by PCD8544 plugin but they are NOT (I'll correct it next week - sorry no time). Followed code use only GPIO2,13,14,15
PIN's connection for display are hardcoded. Don't change them.

Hi,

I am getting following compile error :

C:\Users\administrator\Documents\Arduino\ESPEasy\_P208_PCD8544.ino: In function 'boolean Plugin_208(byte, EventStruct*, String&)':

_P208_PCD8544:171: error: incompatible types in assignment of 'int' to 'unsigned int [12]'

Settings.TaskDeviceID[event->TaskIndex] = 1; // temp fix, needs a dummy value

^
exit status 1
incompatible types in assignment of 'int' to 'unsigned int [12]'

I have put your code mentioned in post 8 into file called _P208_PCD8544.ino in ESPEasy directory.

I have very very limited knowledge in Programming. Can you please help ??

_P208_PCD8544:171: error: incompatible types in assignment of 'int' to 'unsigned int [12]'
I had the same problem with the mega-version. If you go back to R148 and the Arduino IDE, it compiles without errors.

please remove that line - is no any more for espeasy important. Below my configuration - right now compiled and tested with IDE 1.8.3 and ESPEasy 2.0.0 dev10

my config is for Hardware SPI and work with 4pin (SPI + C/D on GPIO2, CE on GND, RESET on VCC) or 5pin (SPI, CD on GPIO2, CE on GPIO15, RESET on VCC). 5Pin connection is important when other SPI device is connected eg. SDCARD or termocouple sensor MAX6675.

PS.
To disable WRAP text please add line:

Code: Select all

boolean setTextWrap = false;
after line

Code: Select all

lcd2 = new Adafruit_PCD8544(15, 2, 16); // CS(CEN) GPIO15 , D/C (need to be connected) GPIO2 , RESET GPIO16
this will disable wrap text (true 14 characters inline for Nokia display) in Adafruit_GFX library
Domoticz Beta release on OrangePI PC and BananaPI,
2x RFLink (last version),
ESPEasy, ESPEasy32 (different configurations),
MySensors (different configurations),
2x MiLight RGBW (over RFLink)
and others things :D

PS.
To disable WRAP text please add line:

Code: Select all

boolean setTextWrap = false;
after line

Code: Select all

lcd2 = new Adafruit_PCD8544(15, 2, 16); // CS(CEN) GPIO15 , D/C (need to be connected) GPIO2 , RESET GPIO16
this will disable wrap text (true 14 characters inline for Nokia display) in Adafruit_GFX library
Is it possible to use commands to print text on the screen?
lcd.1,1,{msg} works on normal LCD's
or lcdcmd,clear

You also have to define "USES_P208"
Add it to the appropriate line with "build_flags" in the platformio.ini file.
You add a define using the -D flag.


So for example in the [common] section:
build_flags = -D BUILD_GIT='"${sysenv.TRAVIS_TAG}"'
-D NDEBUG
-lstdc++ -lsupc++
-DPIO_FRAMEWORK_ARDUINO_LWIP2_LOW_MEMORY
-DVTABLES_IN_FLASH
-DUSES_P208

(See last part)

thanks for your response, i have tried that too, i think it is the same as adding the plugin to define_plugin_sets.h file under PLUGIN_SET_EXPERIMENTAL section and compile the dev build only, in both cases it does not show up in the list of plugins, i think it has something to do with the web form lines

thanks for this post, i've succesfully add this plugin to espeasy, to do that You have to define this plugin into define_plugin_sets.h file - add a line " #define USES_P208 // nokia_lcd" in a version you choose - maybe "developer" one is the best option :)

without that, plugin won't be added to complied flash file.

after that all works a a charm.

PS. sorry for my english, that was my first attempt to compile firmware on my own by the way

is there someone on this forum who has a working Bin file for me that supports the nokia 5110?
i have been trying to get this working with the source code and atom and arduino ide butt only get errors compiling.
tried the latest version and the 147 rc8 butt no luck just errors.
don't unther stand why they aren't supported yet with the latest versions.

thanks for responding.

It would be really great if people could do this as it helps others at least experience what has been do so far. For beginners it is often difficult to compile.

This plugin will be a great addition to the project. Thanks to all those who have contributed.

Hi all, I am very pleased that other ESPeasy enthusiasts also use the Nokia display. In many applications using the hardware SPI allows you to use the I2C and OneWire interface. And we still have Tx and Rx which can also be used - if we don't need a serial login :) I would be very grateful if you manage to include PCD8544 in the repository. I also have positive tests of NOKIA display with ESP32.
On the following photo - ESP07 (updated to 4MB) , BME280, Si7021, AM2305, 0,91" OLED Display, Nokia display and ... still RX and TX free. ;)

Bestr regards ... i pozdrowienia dla kolegów z Polski ;)

Hi!
How to, the easiest way to add a PCD8544 plugin, to my Wemos D1 mini. I use this bin file ->ESP_Easy_mega-20181220_dev_ESP8266_4096. A small warning, I'm not a programmer :)

We're planning on adding a generic display plugin so at this time we're not accepting new display plugins. But I will make sure we support this display (I got a couple of them myself). ;)

Hello to fellow users.

I have this board
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NodeMCU-V3-2 ... SwI7Fb3x~a
I flash it with firmware.bin from post
I have this NOKIA 5110 module
https://grobotronics.com/graphic-lcd-84 ... -5110.html
Module is capable to work with 3V & 5V controller (test it with my board from Andruino IDE)

Could anyone give any info about wiring?
I have read in detail all posts but something is missing I think.

Thanks in advance.

PS. I see CARMIN has similar devices. Could give wiring diagram? Thanks

Nope I have tried and it didn't work.
But I am waiting a new Mini D1 just to check it out.

It is possible that D4 (GPIO2) maybe it is reserved in my board?
If so it need recompile plugin?

My opinion that NOKIA 5110 display is a MUST for stable tree.

Thanks for your answers.

I think that following question is probably stupid, but I have to ask.

I am uploading firmware.bin with latest EASYESP Flash tool.
Is it OK or I have to use a specific version?
Is there any chance bootloader of ESP8266 to be different from older boards and
won't work my Nokia 5110.

Is there any special "treatment" on line fields of plugin?

Thanks again for your answers

My nick is Cramin not Carmin.
Look at pinout:
adampr1 wrote: 23 Nov 2016, 13:50 Please check if you display have equal pin sequence :
PIN1 > Vcc,
PIN2 > GND,
PIN3 > SCE,
PIN4 > RST,
PIN5 > D/C,
PIN6 > DIN,
PIN7 > SCLK,
PIN8 > LED

IMPORTANT - in ESPEasy configuration it shows as I2C device with suggest that PIN 4 and 5 are used by PCD8544 plugin but they are NOT (I'll correct it next week - sorry no time). Followed code use only GPIO2,13,14,15
PIN's connection for display are hardcoded. Don't change them.

And look at my image and pin layout, its changed. But when you properly connect it its working fine. PIN1 > VCC > in my LCD VCC is PIN6

My apologies. It is the daemon of the keyboard! I am in Greece.

Yes I checked & double checked wiring and pin out.
Your display is same with mine (mine its just blue PCB).
ESP8266 it is not the same.
Yes I have remap wiring according to diagram but no it does not working with my ESP8266 board.
I have also checked and enabled init SPI on Hardware tab.

Still no luck.
But when I implement the following project
https://simple-circuit.com/esp8266-node ... -5110-lcd/
everything works fine!
Attention this project uses 5GPIO wiring! Not 4 as I understand uses plugin.

So where is the mystery? Is it possible some library causes overlap pin configuration?
My goal is to have just an ESPEasy with Nokia module only to display values.
Nothing more.

FIXED UP!

You have to connect RST from Nokia 5110 to RST of ESP8266 Board.
Do not check enable init SPI on Hardware Tab.
First GPIO2 (D4)
Don't check GPIO LED & Inversed LED on Hardware Tab

Working wiring is following
Vcc -> 3.3V
GND -> GND
CE -> D4
RST -> RST of ESP8266 lolin
D/C -> D8
DIN -> D7
CLK -> D5
B/L -> any pin of your choice (specific board is 3.3/5V compatible and you can use direct connection of BL to
esp pin but it is recommended to use a 330Ω resistor-BE Careful not fried up your board)

My board is this

Re: PCD8544 - Nokia 5110/3310 LCD - beta plugin

OK now I have a probably logical question!
Why NOKIA5110 plugin is not at least in development firmware of ESPeasy?

I mean if it is alpha/beta or anything else it should be at least on testing or development firmware.
Right?

I have two such displays. I would like to use them in ESPeasy. Maybe someone will give me a fresh build, including a plugin for NOKIA5110?

Well, it's a bit hard (for me at least) to create a build, for a couple of reasons. a) It is an older plugin, and uses no longer supported functions and objects, b) it uses a not yet supported library, c) it is using the SPI interface, and that isn't much used with ESPEasy, d) I don't have such display, and it will take a couple of weeks to get one here, so while I may eventually get it working, it'll have to await testing until I receive a display.

Then don't worry! I just won't be using these displays with espeasy. I will attach them to arduino.

The advantage of these displays over the OLed displays is that they are a bit larger, thus easier to read from some 'distance' (~1 meter), while an average OLed requires me to be within ~60 cm to be readable (age has quite an influence on the eyes :roll:), so experimenting with it is just for fun, and they aren't expensive when buying from Aliexpress ;).
Disadvantage is the rather low resolution (84x48), but I'll be able to squeeze all the info on it, I think.

I'll probably want to add the oledframed-like commands too, so, not being a C++ programmer, that'll be a bit of a challenge (though I've contributed a few PRs to ESPEasy).

I find these displays are more durable with continuous use.

This is a very high price for me. $9.90 + $5.28 = $15.18
I bought the display 5110 for $1.8
