Does anyone know how to wire it up? I have no idea which pins go where. This is my first time working with LCD's. Now that I have chosen a specific model I'm hoping someone can help me out.
No, these have the ugly Hitatchi 44780 interface I mentioned above. An example of a display that will work is the BPP-420L, which I've been using for some time with the FRC RCs.
