When using the Hitachi 44780 (or equivalents)... if you are using the 4-bit mode how should you terminate the connections to the remaining pins? The datasheet itself makes no mention of the other pins (DB8+) so are they simply not connected? Once the device is "set" to bein 4-bit mode it would then appear to become irrelevant... but what about during initialization? -Erik -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
