LCD HASSLE KS0066U???

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

Hello!

I just got a nice 40x2 backlit Lcd but can’t get it to work on my midiio128 (default bootloader ID)

TIANMA claim on their website that it’s  KS0066U compatible…

What is this? is it compatible with Mios or do I need to change the Id?

Is there an easy way to “shift” display modes without removing chips?

here are the details including datasheet to my model:

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hi Alkex,

the displaytech LCDs which I’m normaly using are also stuffed with a KS0066U controller - it’s 100% compatible, but (and this is good!) faster than HD44780

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thanks for this info Thorsten!

…but no luck

Maybe I have bought an unhappy broken Lcd…

I’ll persevere and try rewiring etc

Best regards,
