I have an LCD labeled PCIM 201. The pins are labeled
VDD
GND
CS
MRD
MWR
D - 7
D - 6
D- 5
D-4
D-3
D-2
D-1
D-0

Does anyone have any information on how to hook this up and control it?
Thanks
Kyle

    I think you will have no issue...

    That sure looks like a standard LCD display to me... look into the NUTS & VOLTS section of the Stamp documentation collection. I think you will find examples of how that type of LCD is used with the Stamp. With fewer wires even... you don't need to use all 8 data lines, thus you don't waste precious pins... Actually, I think Jon used a 74595 shift register and SHIFTOUT to save even more I/O pins.
