Don't know if this will help you or not, but we've got a "backpack" for a t6963 driven graphic LCD. You can find the code for it on github: https://github.com/sparkfun/GraphicLCD_Serial_Backpack In particular, here's the file that relates to controlling the chip: https://github.com/sparkfun/GraphicLCD_Serial_Backpack/blob/master/Firmware= /t6963.c I seem to recall having some issues with pins that I *thought* would be hi-z being, in fact, driven, and that was causing me some angst. Might've been a different driver, though.
