Hello!
I bought a LCD from mouser to replace my blue white lcd (which sucks).
Today i got the LCD Module and hooked everything up, but i only see the backlight and nothing else.
its this LCD: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/UMSH-3267MD-2UB.pdf
Please dont tell me that it is not compatible ?
I almost paid 40 euro incl. shipping for it

Hope that someone can help me
I checked the Pinout, it was the same as my old one, so i thought i could buy it and use it for my sammich.
Thanks
Patrick

a) Find out what controller it uses.
b) Find out if it’S HD44780-compatible
c) Find out what the display needs 7V for
d) Find out why there’s no mention of 4-bit mode in the datasheet
e) Learn lesson: Sometimes asking first is a good idea

Lesson learned, good thing that i had a HD44780 compatible one laying around, i thought all those 2002 (20x02) LCD’s are HD44780 compatible, seemed like this is the standard for all of those.
Well..i was wrong, anyone got a need for this display ? will sell it cheap
