Unknown LCD pin outs mapping related

Hi guys a newbie here :P, i'm doing a project with an unknown multiplexed LCD, i don't know the model or anything from the lcd besides its a 16x3 LCD with 33 pins, i'm trying to do the pins mapping but i'm not succeeding at this :/, i've tried several things like using the multimeter with the continuity mode to try to find the grounds not successfully tho, i'm running out of ideas of how to do the mapping of the LCD pins i'm including two pictures of the LCD, one of the pictures the LCD has almost all segments displaying, any help of any kind is very much appreciated, thank you in advanced for help.

Sorry for any mistakes while writing this, i'm not english :p.

it's not a "16x3 LCD", it is a raw LCD display element.

What do you imagine using as a driver IC?

Paul i cannot see your images, well my objective here is to try and map the pins, common segments and discover how they are mapped inside of the LCD, i discovered 30 of the 33 pins by now ( i think ), but atm i'm trying to figure it out the the rest of the 3 pins, 30 pins just turn on 2/3 segments by the screen and to modificate the numbers i need aproximately 6 combinations so i can do turn on and off some segments and just let the ones i desire on, do you have any ideas how i can test the common segments to proof it is a common segment or how i check its affecting the others segments? thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Paul i cannot see your images . . .

They are your images. For some reason he posts images that are linked by other posters. It's convenient but does drive up the data usage of those of us who have bandwidth caps.

It enables me to actually see the images. The psychopathic configuration of the web server imposed by whoever the control freaks are who arrange such things, makes it particularly inconvenient to view the images even on Windoze, well-nigh impossible even to download on some systems.

Linking them with "img" tags makes them almost consistent with the "www" - World Wide Web (HTML) concept.

And if the OP cannot see his own inline images, that demonstrates only too well the deep perversity of the forum setup.

Bandwidth caps? Appalachia perchance? :astonished:

You nailed it, the very northern edge of Appalachia in the 'southern tier' of New York State, just above the Pennsylvania state line.

No cable, marginal cell phone service, 18.8K on dial-up if it's not raining. Satellite is the only option and I had to cut down a mess of trees to get that.
