Just finished a working LCD display. It took me two evenings to get it the way I wanted it but all is now working to my design and sketch. I had trouble at the beginning due to having to solder a set of connections on to the LCD panel. Once past that, it was a fairly swift progress to the "Hello world" message on the screen. Whoopee!

The code for this is very simple and just writes to the first line on screen, then writes to the same place with blanks and repeats to the second line with a different message and blanks that. Then the whole thing loops back and starts again. The hardware is connected in the simplest method and just works.
