Hey
I have been trying to get my screen to work, and I successfully got it
to blink all the screen digits all at once, but I have no idea what
i'm doing except copying code. Perhaps if someone could explain to me
what each command does then I may be able to get it to work.
I'm using a 2x16 parrell screen and a bs2. The manual for the screen
can be found here:

also is this a Hitachi HD44780 LCD?
thanx in advance.

is so easy to interface to your LCD screen with this IC. It only
requires on output pin on your stamp. It runs on 9600 or 2400 baud.
If you don't want to go that route I recommend reading through
stampworks doc #11.

monstration.pdf
It explains how to hook up your LCD, what all the commands are and it
also gives you some example code to get started.
