I shall have a test of this tomorrow and let you know. thanks

Any chance you can share your init script please? So your saying with wiring on OLED as 4bit. Init script set to 8bit then modify down to 4bit and it works ? I imagine it's something in the HD44780 chip which doesn't reset usually but does on an 8bit/4bit switch... As long as I understand your solut...

Thanks mahjongg,

So by slightly simple diode like a 1N4148 in the 5v0 power line should reduce the displays voltage usage, and therefore expect lower power on the 3v3 high commands?

Would a small resistor not do the same thing?

Thanks

Experiencing very similar issues http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 88#p496788 However, I have more wiring as I have not disconnected backlight (15/16).

I will follow and keep updated if I get anything back.

Very Similar to http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 63&t=68055 however different coding, and I have wired up more pins.

By garbled I mean random pixels to Full character spaces being filled to some legible characters. Not a bl...

Hi All, I use a Pi with an LCD Screen connected to LCDProc http://lcdproc.org (Great service with a huge amount of uses), and a Pi Supply https://www.modmypi.com/pi-supply?filter_name=pi%20supply . My Powersupply is a 2Amp UK Mains http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/maplin-twin-21a-compact-usb-power-supply-n...

Thanks for that

Is there any advice you can provide regarding pins to PI from LCD panel?

Hi, Being a noob at hardware development thourght it best to ask before i tried to blow my self up (or more likley my pi), I have a displaytech 162D (Datasheet URL) https://www.displaytech-us.com/sites/default/files/display-data-sheet/162D%20series-v31.pdf However I want to know if I can just plug t...
