Introduction: Interfacing 8051 Microcntroller With 16*2 Lcd in Proteus Simulation

About: Hi all, I'm Pawan Joshi who works on embedded system and IoT. I'm really passionate about embedded system and IoT. Here through this page you will come to know about embedded system from scratch to the latest …

This is a very basic project of 8051. In this project we are going to tell you about how we can interface 16*2 lcd to 8051 microcontroller. So here we are using full 8 bit mode. In the next tutorial we will tell about 4 bit mode as well.

Step 1: Software Used:

As we are showing proteus simulation so FOR CODING AND SIMULATION YOU REQUIRED:

1 Keil uvision: Their are lots of product from keil. so you will be required c51 compiler. You can download that software from here

2 Proteus Software for simulation: This is the software to show simulation. You will get lot of information to download this software.

If you are doing it in hardware then you would require one software that is flash magic to upload the code in your hardware. Remember flash magic is developed by nxp. So you can not upload all 8051 family microcontroleer through this software. So Philips based controller only you can upload.

Step 2: Components Required:

Here in our demo video we are using proteus simulation but definetly if you are doing it in your hardware you will be required these components for this project:

8051 Development board: So if you have this board it will be better so that you can easily upload the code by yourself.

LCD 16*2: This is 16*2 lcd . In this lcd we have 16 pins.

USB to UART converter: This is 9Pin D type male Connecter For Rs232 O/p

Jumper Wires

Step 3: Circuit Diagram:

Step 4: Code of Project

You can get the Source code from our GitHub Link

Step 5: Video of Our Project:

The whole project description is given in the above video.
