KS0108-based Graphic LCD overview
Raj shows how to interface GLCDs with KS0108 controllers to PIC uCs. He covers the protocol used, LCD memory mapping, and how to write up the firmware using microC compiler.
This entry was posted in tutorials and tagged GLCD, KS0108, PIC, tutorial.The use of a graphical LCD (GLCD) drastically changes the look of your project. It provides more freedom for presenting data than the HD44870 based character LCDs. Today we will see how to interface a KS0108 (name of the display controller chip) based GLCD to a PIC microcontroller. This experimental tutorial is divided into two parts. In the first part, we will see how to write a firmware for the PIC microcontroller to initialize the GLCD and send data to plot points and lines on the screen. The second part will focus more on exploring the built-in GLCD Library of mikroC Pro for PIC compiler to display more complex texts and objects.

So many buttons and switches! o.O
All MikroElektronika dev boards are like that :D .. check them out at

(they have ARM, 8051 and other dev tools too, not only pic)
