For a while now, I have been wanting to post my code that I developed during my
GPS project using a FPGA board. Creating the LCD controller module was the meat of the project and I know many people are interested in how one might approach such a project. I have plans on providing a full-fledged tutorial on how I designed this module, but it is still in the works. In the meantime, I will provide you with the Verilog code which is fairly well commented and with a little cross correlation with the data sheet for the
ST7066 the code should be for the most part, self-explanatory. Eventually this post will be edited with a more formal discussion of this code but for now we will have to make due with just the code.
Here is a screenshot of a simulation of what this module does after the initialization phase and you write the ascii value of "C" (0x43) as a data operation. The markers indicate the start and end of the module's execution of this operation.
