As for myself, I had no problem with the LiquidCrystal library included with the Arduino software. I could write to the display just fine, and even get custom characters. I used it in this project here:Two-button clock - Exhibition / Gallery - Arduino ForumDid you try the LiquidCrystal library? Did you have problems with it? If so, what problems?
I love the custom caharacters! Even better, I needed more characters than the 8 available to be able to make bar graphs and "pin" graphs, that could resolve down to the 5 vertical positions available within a character. So I was very happy to find that when i created a bar graph, I could create the character I needed on the fly, and even use different versions of it within the same display. Here's my current project.. you can see some of the bar graphs with "partial" block characters... Solar ONE! - An all in One Pool Pump Controller for Solar Heated Pools
