Newhaven Display Forum

Okey the problem is now Solved.

The Display have to be connected like on the schematic.

Hallo

I have a NHD-C24064WO-ATFH-3V3 but it don't work. I have made a test PCB with the capacitor used in the data sheet. I like to control the display over SPI. I have already used a NHD-C12864A1Z-FS and this worked with my SPI communication.

Now the problem is, i can't see anything on the display but if i touch the connector (it is not a loose contact) on the right side (master side) my content appears and disappears a bit later. I have measured the LCD contrast voltage which is on the master side around 10 volt, but on the slave its only 2v. I have tested some things but it will not work. I have already tested with two displays and two PCBs this is why I don't think its a short circuit or a loos contact. What could be the problem?

Here is my code. I have testet many things this is why so many code is commented out

for (U8 i = 0; i < C12864_DISPLAY_HW_NOF_COLUMNS; i++) {

}

init_spi_master();

}

and my SPI methods (Atmel AVR)

void spi_sendByteDisp0(U8 send)
{
volatile U16 nichts = 0;
for(nichts = 0;nichts<0xffff;nichts++); //Wait
volatile U32 gaga = (SPI_CSR_DISP0_NR<<16) | send;
SPI_Port.tdr =  gaga;//SET CS and Data in tdr
while (!SPI_Port.SR.txempty);//wait until Data buffer is empty
for(nichts = 0;nichts<0xffff;nichts++); //Wait

}

void spi_sendByteDisp1(U8 send)
{
volatile U16 nichts = 0;
for(nichts = 0;nichts<0xffff;nichts++); //Wait
SPI_Port.tdr = (SPI_CSR_DISP1_NR<<16)  | send; //SET CS and Data in tdr
while (!SPI_Port.SR.txempty);//wait until Data buffer is empty
for(nichts = 0;nichts<0xffff;nichts++); //Wait
