Story

Hi :-)

In This Post I Will Create A project To Work With LCD by Nano framework.(nanoframework)

Step 1:

I work With LCD 2004a (in 8 bit).

Connect Lcd Pin to Esp32 Pins Like this:

In traditional platform (c, c++, …) we have library to control this lcd (lcd.h), but here we must create our library (for Nano framework).

I did that before and you can use it in your projects:

AP.Nanoframework.LCD

Step 2:

Add “AP.NanoFrameWork.LCD” in your project

Step 3:

Just Coding:

CODE

AP.NanoFrameWork.LCD.CharLCD myCharLCD = 
           new AP.NanoFrameWork.LCD.CharLCD(27, 14, 33, 15, 4, 16, 17, 5, 18, 19, 21);
            
            myCharLCD.Begin(20, 4, 1);

            myCharLCD.SetCursor(0, 0);
            myCharLCD.WriteText("Hi friends");
            myCharLCD.SetCursor(0, 1);
            myCharLCD.WriteText("I love Nanoframework");
            myCharLCD.SetCursor(0, 3);
            myCharLCD.WriteText("Github.com/Alirezap");

Note: for esp32, I designed my custom board before
