Has anyone gotten a Noritake CD20045SCPB-U1J to work in 4 mode. I fought with it for a 1/2 day. I then decided to test it in 8 bit mode. Worked like a champ. The init sequence is the standard 3 8 bit resets, a 4 bit mode command, then everything else in 4 bit mode. But it only writes junk to the display even if large delays are used. I'd like to use 4 bit mode to conserve I/O pins. Any ideas? BAJ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
