Check Arduino Playground - LCDPCF8833
I am also preparing a step by step walk-through that demonstrates how one could make their very own digital photo frame. This uses my LCD library in combination with SDuFAT to read the data from an SD card.
Enjoy, and as always, if you optimise the code, please upload it for everyone else to use!

The Photo Frame walk-through is now available as well. Using an SD card, you can view pictures on the screen using an Arduino.
Enjoy.

Hey M,
Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to post a wonderful tutorial. I found it very useful. I wasn't able to get the sample code to work, but using Thomas Pfeifer's framework and your drawing routines, it work just perfect.
I had trouble using your code in AVR Studio, but Thomas' helped in that respect.
Anyway, just didn't want your efforts to go un-noticed.
Thanks again,
Moe
Cheers mate! its far from perfect, but the concept is there =D
I'm sorry the tutorial didn't work straight out of the box, there are too many steps involved, so I can see a real potential for problems along the way. I really need to work on a version that can read BMP file.
I'm really glad it worked for you in the end, and well done on getting it working for AVR studio, if you happen to have any free time, please post the code for the rest of our lovely community.

Thanks for posting that tutorial. I have some questions as well. Did you use a breakout board, or just the lcd? It seems that the breakout board is for the epson, so you must be using the lcd. Other than connecting
CS: Arduino Pin 9
SCLK: Arduino Pin 7
SDATA: Arduino Pin 5
do I need capacitors or anything? What about reset?
Hi all!
I am a newbie with arduino. I have succefully drived a simple LCD 20x2 and a nokia 3110 lcd with very useful libraries published on arduino.cc.
Due to the uploaded library for pcf8833 I can't find a fuction for printing on lcd chars and char strings (selecting size and colour).
Anyone has any fuction based on this library for print strings and chars?
Cheers
