Hello,

Is it possible to drive the seiko L167100J000 LCD from the stamp, (Board of
Education) without an LCD controller chip ?

(I'm assuming the LCD does not have a controller, going by the SEIKO web page).

If so, any info on how to connect it, and details on the software would be be
great.

The only thing I found was
http://www.seiko-usa-ecd.com/lcd/products/char_mods/l167100j000.html

where on the bottom of the page it lists the address locations as


Address Locations:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Line 1 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 C0 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7

    Found this site, http://www.diguru.com/embedded/lcd-faq.htm, it looks (?????)
    like this LCD is a Hitachi HD44780 equipped ... just going by the pinouts on the
    data sheet which match up with the diguru web page.

    I hooked it up to a breadboard, used one of the programs that came with the
    B.O.E, and no output.

    I did alter the source code a bit, as I connected pins 3-14 from the lcd to
    ports 0-11. I used port 15 for the RS pin, and port 13 for the E(nable) pin.

    I'm wondering if the LCD is dead, and how to test it ?

    Bruce,

    Thx, I have already have that info.

    Have you used this LCD or any others ?

    Any hints / tips / tricks / gotcha's, to make it work ?

    I was only using VDD for the "driving voltage" (pin 3), other pins connected
    directly to the ports.
