5.2 LCD Software Tips

Writing an LCD driver program seems daunting since there are so many hardware factors that the software must handle.

  1. LCD display glass and its layout and properties.
  2. Choice in connection between the LCD pins on the display and LCD pins on the MSPM0 MCU.
  3. How the microcontroller maps the pins to display memory makes code confusing.
  4. Hard to read without having the full picture and several data sheets handy.

This section offers some tips to help make LCD driver software easier to use and understand, as well as create efficient LCD code.
