Software controlling

[ScorpionV]

I am going to purchase a parallel LCD and was just wondering if the contrast and backlight can be software controlled. If it can then i probably wont spend the extra cash to buy 2 pots. I know serial LCDs can, but i was just wondering about parallels.

No it cant.

Well thats kinda wrong... it can be, but only with a LOT of effort to make the required electronic circuits.
It wouldnt really be worth the effort anyway.
