Hi there! I received the display yesterday, and it took me about 1 hour to find out and to succeed to make it display whatever i wanted, and it really works great ! Neat, visible, really a nice piece. Here's the link for the tutorial : http://www.ladyada.net/learn/lcd/charlcd.html Enjoy !

A lack of information

I, too, just received this without datasheet, but it does include a potentio meter. That's nice. It also has 32 pins, instead of 16. Probably nice as well, but what do they do? All info I can find by myself assumes 16 pins.
I decided to just give it a go. Soldered on the 32 pins, hooked it up as described here: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LiquidCrystalDisplay (ignoring one row of pins) and hey presto, it works! Just also connect pin 16 to GND and 15 to 5V to get the LED to work.
Next I hooked it up using the other row. Works too! See, 32 pins is just better than 16.

I just received this unit without instructions or reference to an online document. I sure would like to get this going. It has 32 edge connectors, not 16 as in the pic.
Anybody have a clue?

Easy to use in Arduino projects

This display is a snap to integrate with Arduino projects using the built-in Liquid Crystal library. Aside from the included the strip of pin headers, you'll also need a potentiometer for brightness control. Had the pot been included (even for an extra dollar), I'd have given five stars.
Excellent
