LCD Tutorial!

Hello,
My Engineering teacher recently gave me an LCD screen that I have no clue how to use on a Basic Stamp 2. It says that it is from POWERTIP and the code on the back is PC-1602-Q. It then is attached to some sort of add on that says BPI-216 on it. There are 5 open prongs that come out, two for 5v, two for ground, and one that says SER. I was hoping that someone code give me some sort of tutorial on how to hook up and use this display or lead me to a tutorial.
Thank you,
Shane

    Well the internet is out there for a reason, not sure what it is, but if type PC-1602-Q BPI-216 into google, you'll get a spec sheet at

    I also saw a bunch of links that may include some sample code. It looks like a vanilla serial interfaced LCD, shouldn't be too hard to get stuff on it.
