Does anyone have the library to control a parallel LCD with a ks0066u processor it is a knockoff of an HD44780 processor. I cannot get it to work while I can get the HD44780 LCD to work just fine.

Someone posted on here a while ago about them but the links did not work.

Thanks

Why not use the LiquidCrystal library? Use this tutorial: Arduino Tutorial - connecting a parallel LCD. The LCD4bit library is a bit antiquated, poorly written, and the LCD initialization is not completely correct as I recall. The incorrect initialization would account for one display working and another not working.

The menu just does not seem to work with the KS0066U processor. I tried this to no avail. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks
