    Fredrick, You can also use the -9 volts from an RS-232 interface ic if you are using a serial interface to your computer for boot loading.. I do this quite often.

    I use a USB interface with a FTDI RS232 chip on the board.

    I will try first and just connect it to GND and se whatīs happends.

    Just connect the Vo to GND doesīt work, all the "pixels" on the display are showing but no text.

    I think this display needs negative voltage for LCD driving..

    Try connecting as the manual shows with a pot as a voltage divider, then try adjusting until the display is clear.

    Do not tell anyone, but I made a similar mistake awhile back.
