Yes, i know about the guide, but the display i have is likely an obscure one. Is there a chance of some of you guys leafing through the spec sheet (http://www.excesssolutions.com/mas_assets/acrobat/ES3303.pdf) and producing a quick wire-me-up for parallel/serial (all i need to know is which wire from said port to solder to which finger and i'm good to go). Thanks -steve On page 9 there's a basic pinout but i'm wondering if when they say db0-7, which pins do i connect these damn things to
Well, I can tell you that your display is most definitely not an obscure one. The controller on the LCD is pin-compatible with the ubiquitous HD44780, so just follow the guides for HD44780 displays and you're set.
