Nokia 5110 Graphic LCD Does not Work

Try this sketch. Copy and paste it to your Arduino IDE by highlighting the top section, scrolling down the page to the bottom shift & left click to highlight all, then CTRL C to copy and CTRL V to paste.
Pay attention to the pinout and all pins except the power supplies and GND (3.3V for backlight and board supply) need to go to to the Arduino board via a 10k resistor, except SCE which uses 1k.

I did this sketch this morning (23 Sept 2012) and so it should be fairly fresh. I've tested it on an Uno using the latest and earlier IDEs and it works. It should show some text, a couple of bitmaps, and some text effects without the need of a library to run it.
