Hey,
I need help interfacing the Seiko Epson # ECM-A0526 which I recently purchased from All Electronics [noparse]:)[/noparse]

The data sheet can be found at : http://www.allelectronics.com/spec/LCD-104.pdf

If you've had experience with this type of LCD before please provide a post.

Any info on it is humbly appreciated!

Thanks!

Generally speaking the PBASIC Stamps are well suited for interfacing with character LCD's which use the HD-44780 (Hitachi) or similar formats. You have chosen a graphics type LCD, and that may present a problem.

Those who have successfully used graphics LCD's with a PBASIC Stamp, have used units which are suited for serial interfacing, such as those offered by Seetron:

Although the serial LCD's they offer may be more expensive, they are guaranteed to work with the PBASIC Stamp or other similar microcontroller.

That one's simple...

You just clock in a complete bitmap every few mS...
(I think it says 12 - 15 mS in the docs)

And no, the docs aren't complete.
Try looking up the chips used with the LCD for more specific info about timing.
