Thats really dependant on the driver chip. If the chip is a Hitachi
HD44780, or compatible, then you can use the examples you find on the
'net for Stamp->LCD interrfacing. If the driver chip is different,
you'll need to get the data sheets (and a pot of coffee [noparse];)[/noparse] )
This is why the serial LCD's are worth their ~$40 price premium to most people.
