Hi, I'm right at the start of trying to drive a generic ST7066U-based=20
2x16 LCD character display, compatible with HD44780/KS0066/KS0070B etc.

Talking to the display can be done using 4 or 8 bits. I'm using 8 bits=20
for now until I can prove any advantage to using 4. Pin count costs,=20
perhaps? Any opinions on this please?

It seems logical to use the pre-written LCD library code provided by=20
Microchip, rather than write my own, at this stage. So I think I need to=20
include xlcd.h, but then I'm not too clear about getting the job done. I=20
can see a number of .c files under=20
/opt/microchip/xc8/v1.33/sources/pic18/plib/XLCD which I guess I'd call,=20
and pass parameters accordingly.

So my question is, has anyone seen a good user guide to setting all this=20
up? I seem to have found the details before finding any kind of manual.

Many thanks,
Matt.
