DISPLAY DATA "A":

AIM:
To initialize 8279 and to display the character "A" in the first digit of the display. However, before sending codes to the
display RAM, a write display RAM control word should be sent. Then, write the data to be displayed, to the data
register.

PROGRAM 2:
READ A KEY:
AIM:
To read a key and store the key code in memory location 9200. This code will be entered into the FIFO whenever a
key is pressed. To read a key, procedure to be followed is,

1) Read the status word

2) Check for a key closure:
This can be done by checking the least significant 3 bits of the status word. If it zero, it means there is no key
closure, so keep checking again.
3) If a key closure is encountered, read the data from FIFO RAM, and store this data (key code) in memory location
9200
The following program waits for a key to be pressed in the keyboard, reads the same and stores it in the location

To display the rolling message 'HELP US' in the display. The initialization of 8279 is same as that of Example-1. Then,
the data is fetched from address 9200CH and displayed in the first digit of the display. The next data is displayed in
the second Digit of the display, since in the command word for 'write display RAM' the Auto Increment flag is set. A
time delay is given between successive digits for a lively display
