raviolidon:
dhenry, thank you very much for our response. Can you please explainThe display looks to be hd44780 compliant so the regular code should work.
How do I find out it is hd44780 compliant? What is the regular code, where? I am fairly new to this and the only thing that I know it is that Newhaven has an initialization set up that is written for an 8051 (does not work with Arduino). Do you mean regular initialization code for Arduino or the NT7605 controller? Thanks so much for your help!
Look at reply #17. Are you using the Arduino IDE? There are many example sketches under the File > Examples menu. Assume that the controller is hd44780 compliant and try the examples. "Hello World" would be a good place to start and it has good comments. Follow them when you hook up your LCD, remembering that your V5 is on a different pin.
