Nokia 6610 Display (Gravitech)

Using Arduino Displays
#1

I'm working on a project that needs a display. I have a Gravitech Nokia 6610 display that is close to the perfect size. http://www.gravitech.us/13secogrlcd.html

I needed to run it using six wires, so I wired the VCC, VBL and BL pins together. The display seems to be working fine, currently.

I need to rotate the display 90 degrees left, and display text. It seems that this is possible (Top of page 4, here) http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorial/Nokia%206100%20LCD%20Display%20Driver.pdf

Has anyone had success with something like this?

You can manage rotation via MADCTL with the Philips controller (see page 43).

On the Epson controller (see page 30), I don't believe there is an equivalent command; you'll likely need to handle rotation and mirroring in software.

Awwww.... shoot.

I'm almost positive I have the Epson version.

I gotta keep messing with it. There's got to be a way.
