636 LCD Display Unit

[DETN8R]

I odered the 636 LCD From www.caseetc.com. im wondering if anyone has the the specs on what pins goto what pins on the 25-Pin D-Sub Solder Cup Connector.

Here is the original 636 page:

It is fairly equivalent to the CFAH1602B-YYB-JPE:

thanks, i just hope i get everything hooked up fine
i ordered all the parts that caseetec recommended in the LCD Info page and i see that i need a 10k resistor in those schematics, whats up with that?

[CF Tech]

I don't have that schematic memorized, but the 10K is probably a potentiometer to set the contrast. Post a link to the schematic and I'll look at it.

[DETN8R]

i was referring to your schematic but now that you mention it, it is the potentiometer

[DETN8R]

but still, where do i need the 50ohms that caseetc recommened? all i see is 1 100ohm resistor in the schematic

i just got my LCD today and i think i broke it. the gold rings that the wires go through came off and i dont think it will make contact.

[DETN8R]

i think i may have fixed the problem. iall i see now on the LCD is just black blocks which disappear when i adjust the potentiometer. i have installed LCDriver and that doesnt help either

[DETN8R]

ok, i must be the biggest idiot because while trying to fix the problem i crossed 2 things and shorted something out so now i wasted another $20 on the lcd. but still any comments or suggestions(besides "DONT BREAK IT") are welcome

i finally got my new lcd and for some reason whenever i run lcdriver nothing shows up on my screen
