Alphanumeric LCD Display Models

Our Alphanumeric LCD Display library currently contains models for the following displays:

  LM016L   LM017L   LM018L   LM044L
  LM020L   LM032L   LM041L   MDLS40466

The library also contains models for the popular serial LCD driver boards available from Milford Instruments for the following display configurations:

  2x16   2x20   2x40   4x20

The LCD display model is based around the common HD44780 controller chip. It allows for an arbitrary mapping of LCD character positions to controller chip addresses and is easily configured to model specific displays including those that use one or two controller chips.

Specific help on configuring the model is included along with manufacturers' datasheets detailing programming procedures and general operation of the displays.
