could someone help me with a lcd display.
I got a lcd display from a flea market a few years back that i bought
for a $1.00 and i want to know if it works. The display has the
Hitachi 44780 controller on it, & it has 14 pins. maby someone has a
code for the BS2. i know Scott Edward has an interface for this tipe
of display but i do not want to buy one if the display dose not
work. Any tip will help

    i bought an lcd from a local place as well for 2.00. i contacted the company
    and they sent me the data sheet for it. thats all you need. the code is
    simple.

    go to http://www.phanderson.com/stamp/tutorial_10.html
    for a lesson on serial communications. page 11-18 will tell you how to do it
    and give examples in BS2 code.
