Hi Adrian :-)

Your translation is perfect !!!

The original display is wired as follows:
_____ ________________
! ! ! !
! !-D0--->
RS-! !-Vcc
! !-D1--->--R/W(/WR)-! !-Brightnes
! !-D2--->----E(/RD)-! !-GND
! !-D0- ! !
! !-D1- ! 4x20 Character !
! uC !-D2- ! Dot Matrix !
! !-D3- ! Display !
! !-D3--->
D4-! !
! !-D4--->
D5-! !
! !-D5--->
D6-! !
! !-D6--->
D7-! !
!_____! !________________!


The serial display wiring diagram:
____ ______ _________
! ! ! ! ! !
! !-D0->
RS---D0-! PIC !-RXD--->---TXD-! Serial !
! !-D1->-R/W(/WR)--D1-! (or !-CTS--->----MB-! VFD !
! !-D2->---E(/RD)--D2-! UART)! ! Display !
! !-D3->
D4--D3-! ! ! Module !
! !-D4->
D5--D4-! ! !_________!
! uC !-D5->
D6--D5-! !
! !-D6->
D7--D6-! !

The timing diagrams can found here:

PCode=3DSpecs/GU7000/GU140x32F-7806-04&PType=3Dpdf=20

In the 4-bit modus the data should be clocked first with the high=20
nibble (bits 4-7 (D4-D7)) followed by the low nibble (bits 0-3 (D0-
D3)).


Thanx
