spikee:
if you use +5V instead of GND there will be smoke out of the lcd
Huh? I'm not sure what you are thinking.
I am talking about what connects to the pot leg.
There was earlier discussion in this thread that Don brought up, about what is opposite VEE on the pot.
Should it be +5v or GND? That was the question.
My response was that ground should work but nearly all the glcd data sheets show using +5v
which is why I recommended wiring up the to pot leg to +5v vs ground like the glcd documentation
shows.
The data sheet that you posted a link to shows using ground on the pot leg.
If this is not clear or you are not understanding this, please ask more questions.
