> Does this arduino code help any: https://github.com/halfbyte/lcddogmspi Thanks, I'll give it go. It does look very similar to some C I found These LCDs have been around for wee while. It's surprising that code for them is very sparse, maybe because many people can't get them working so they don't make it into finished projects I need to focus on getting the Busy flag working immediately after the two Function Set commands. Trying to complete initialisation without the LCD joining in the fun is probably pointless Joe --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
