I like to clear some doubts.
I checked the diagram on the easypic.
The LCD connection in 4bit mode.
I know that D4 to D7 are the data.
And there are RS & EN.
Q1. Are the above pins connected directly to PIC pins ?
Q2. The D0 to D3 lines need to be grounded directly or through a resistor ?
The R/W pin
Q3. Is this the Read/write address pin ?
This pin is not used as I saw.
Q4. Should this pin be directly grounded directly or through a resistor ?
I have seen pin labelled Vo or Vee.
Q5. Is this the contrast pin ?
Q6. Will LCD get damaged connecting this pin directly to Vdd or Ground ?
I can google and I will see lot's of ways to do this. But I'd rather ask someone who has done this. That is connected a LCD to a circuit, not to a demo board.
I do not wanna damage my Brand New (am going to buy) beautiful LCD's for my PSU and ADC value checker project.
