correct me if i am wrong. a 14 OR 16 PIN LCD WILL WORK WITH THE PicBasic Pro compiler's LCDOUT command. do a search on LCDOUT and connection diargram are around. search this place as well as google. the lcds must have a built in driver, they are really small so you might just see a black blob or tape on the lcd unit. if it meets these requirements then it will be VERY easy to program with minimal wiring, well 10 or so.
