Edited properly.
I hope you can understand the "why's" of me editing the post as I did.
I've no problem with making this a "sticky" at this point (and will, to give the original author his due respect).

No problem Phil...
That's how we learn. In fact, one of my first posts on these boards was a "D00dz, ya can get SiSoft Sandra 2000 Pro at XXXXXXXXXX" (a warez site).
That's how I learned not to do that LOL. It also shows how long I've been here (considering it was new when I posted it...
)The fellow "down under" wasn't irate about your thread, but quite insistant things be "changed".

Parallel. I used that NTPORT95 thing. Forget exactly what it was called. For the actual programs, I used LCD Smartie 2.

I can't get the link to work. So I can't see the actual guide. I can't even get on to Overclockers AU to see the guide. Any other good guides to making a Printer Cable LCD Display? I went out and bought a nice 20x4 display this morning and now I can't find the stinking guide. Help!!

Some guides say you only need the resistors if you want to be able to control the contrast and brightness. So I'm confused about LCD pins 15 and 16 if I don't want to be able to control these?

Ok, you need resistors for a LED backlight only... I don't have any resistors on my LCD, but I'm using a custom EL Panel backlight...ClarkKent said:
