and here is the data sheet for the actual LCD module:
I am trying to find out why my LCD is not displaying anything.
I have downloaded the new Beta Files that include the diagnosics and have tried a few sample programs but i have gotten nowhere.
If you would like i can post the code to the GLCDdiags sketch, i chose not to include it at the moment because it is a massively long sketch.
I uploaded this code to an arduino with the LCD connected and to one without one connected and they come out with the same information.
With the LCD connected the serial monitor get to Initializating GLCD.
So i know something is wrong.
I have connected everything just as it is put out by the serial monitor but its still stuck.
Ok rechecked wiring again and its right.
Now i just hooked up an Oscope to the data out pins and im not getting an output.
on the CS pins i get a quick blip but nothing else. Im thinking the sketch is hanging up somewhere.
Im going to post it here in the next post.
I have the contrast set, backlight is on.
other then that i have nothing.
If you guys could help point me in the right direction, i would so grateful.
Thanks

We kinda have a rule here to answer LCD questions only after seeing some codes and connection hi-res pictures. A lot can go wrong while you think you did it right. If you really did it right, you wouldn't be seeking help ;)
your right there.
Here is some pics and some other code albeit not the diag code i was talking about earlier:
#include <ArduinoIcon.h>
#include <Arial14.h>
#include <ks0108.h>
#include <ks0108_Arduino.h>
#include <ks0108_Panel.h>
#include <SystemFont5x7.h>
int ledPin = 13;
unsigned long startMillis;
unsigned int iter = 0;
void setup(){
{
GLCD.Init(NON_INVERTED); // initialise the library
GLCD.ClearScreen();
delay(3000);
GLCD.ClearScreen();
GLCD.SelectFont(System5x7); // select fixed width system font
}}
void loop()
{
startMillis = 1000;
while( millis() - startMillis < 1000){ // loop for one second
GLCD.DrawRect(0, 0, 64, 61, BLACK); // rectangle in left side of screen
for(int i=0; i < 62; i += 4)
GLCD.DrawCircle(32,31,30,BLACK); // draw circle centered in the left side of screen
GLCD.FillRect(92,40,16,16, WHITE); // clear previous spinner position
GLCD.CursorTo(5,5); // locate curser for printing text
GLCD.PrintNumber(++iter); // print current iteration at the current cursor position
}
// display number of iterations in one second
GLCD.ClearScreen(); // clear the screen
GLCD.CursorTo(13,2); // positon cursor
GLCD.Puts("FPS= "); // print a text string
GLCD.PrintNumber(iter); // print a number
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // this last bit of code is to make sure the
delay(1000); // LCD or the MCU isnt locked up
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
Your wires are all green and you didn't show the entire picture, just the screen, and then separately the arduino. You need to put them on the same picture so someone can figure out which wire is going between which arduino pin and which LCD pin.
Do you have a breadboard and some headers instead of green wires?
