Some time ago I had ordered a LCD display I wanted to use in a project. Ended up with a vague datasheet and no clue of how to use a 8bit parallel interface. There was also little help on the internet cuz most ppl use a serial interface.
So after HOURS of reading I finally managed to get it to display something!
I sometimes wish some stuff was better documented.

Nice! Interesting screen shape... Some old phone?

And did you post a gist of how to get it working?

@bkwilliams I was gonna say...

So then how did you get it working?

Agree

Hope you helped the community by donating your contribution to the documentation

LCD display... triggered

@JFK422 post a writeup or your code so where, help others out!

@taigrr Sofar I have no documentation written, but I inted to do so some time in the near future when I have the time for it.

@ScriptCoded Completely new display. Oddly it came with a glass pane on it unlike most others.

Embedded industry is especially guilty of this. We have everything, from badly documented chips, to well documented chips with documentation only in Chinese.

I swear I feel like picking up the damn machinegun and going Rambo when I see multiple global variables being used and modified by threads or interrupts all running at the same time. To cherry the cake, nobody bothers writing a small note about what even is supposed to be happening

Take that to school and speak in Arabic

@Teknas And get a meetup with Obama?!

@JFK422 now you're getting it
