Redwood Shores, 10 juni 2007.

I once used a 1K resistor for pulldown of the R/W of a 44780-compatible. It
turned out that that was not enough to actually pull it down: it had to be
truly grounded. Fortunately the "44780" also won the competition on the
databus, only destroying my 16F877A PORTD and nothing else (at least, so far
it doesn't look like it destroyed more). I recommend not using a resistor at
all, and just connecting the R/W to ground directly.
