hi i am new in this and i want to connect my arduino to this lcd
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=320504699302&Category=26206&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2
i buy it and i need help i have this arduino :Arduino Duemilanove 2009 AVR ATmega168-20PU/9V adapter
pleas how to connect the arduino to the lcd ?
Google is a marvellous tool : Arduino Playground - LCD12864
i do google it but what you gave me is not the right pins info ...
i have this pins on the lcd
1-20
1 = GND
2 = VDD
3 = VO
4 = RS
5 = RW
6 = E
7 - 14 = DB0-DB7
15 = CSA
16 = CSB
17 = RST
18 = VEE
19 = BLA
20 = BLK
this is my pins in the lcd
pleas help me ..
this is the data sheet
http://www.satistronics.com/myfiles/file/LCD/RT12864J-1.pdf
Most of the pins are labelled as is in the playground, Hazarding a guess I'd say that CSEL1 is CSA on your datasheet and EN on the playground is E on your datasheet. Having never used one of these displays, this is an educated guess. Having looked at another datasheet for a 12864 graphic LCD, it looks like the pinout is a VERY loose standard.
I'd get in touch with the ebay vendor and ask him, you may be fortunate and he has a clue about what he's selling.
i ask him i waiting for send me back
he don't send back ...
pleas some 1 know ?
or where i can buy lcd that i can connect to arduino ? thanks ...
If you're stuck with the LCD, it strikes me there isn't much to lose by experimenting and see if you can get it to work, worse case scenario is that it doesn't work and you've wasted your time and money, which is exactly what you have by abandoning it.

This is a Graphical LCD, not a Character LCD. You do not want any of the information pertaining to the HD44780, LiquidCrystal, 4-bit, etc.
You need to search for 'Arduino GLCD' information. Take a look here for example: Arduino Playground - GLCDks0108.

Who suggested otherwise ?
However your link is a better match to his GLCD than the 12864 GLCD Library I posted. Looks like theres duplication of effort on the playground.......
but i dont understand how i connect my lcd
i looked at the pics but the arduino in the pics is the old arduino i have
Arduino Duemilanove
pleas help me !

the data sheet shows you all the pins
http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/GLCDks0108
the playground shows you where to connect them --look down on the page to see the names of the pins on the lcd and the number to connect it to on the arduino.
Who suggested otherwise ?
The original poster did. When a question pertains to a Character LCD the topic heading usually contains the term"LCD". When the question pertains to a Graphical LCD the topic heading usually contains the term "GLCD". Since his topic heading did not follow this convention I just wanted to make sure that he wasn't looking in the wrong place. The pinouts are similar enough to confuse someone who is not aware that there are two different categories of LCD modules. I recently helped someone who was using a fairly normal Character LCD that had a 20 pin interface.

The connections between the GLCD and Arduino are the same even though he is using an older model Arduino.

Chen, if your lcd panel is the same as this one: Graphic KS0108 LCD 128x64 + extras [white on blue] : ID 188 : $24.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits
It uses a different lcd controller than the one pluggy linked. It should work with the KS0108 library Don linked in reply#8
