Hi Ralph,

Sorry, but I don't really have the tools to do a quick schematic.

I have the PIC + LCD + Voltage regulator on a breadboard at the moment.

The lines are as follows:
data: pin portb.2 --> LCD data pin
clock: pin portb.4 --> LCD clock pin
chip select: pint portb.0 --> LCD CSB pin (LOW = selected)
command: pin portb.1 --> LCD RS pin (LOW = command, high = data)

The voltage regulator is a ultra-low dropout 5V +/- 0.025V and can supply
enough current. It has tant caps on both sides of it of the correct size, and has been used for other projects.

The LCD backlight is not connected (it is actually a seperate part), and the LCD uses 0.25mA when powered according to the spec sheet.

Best regards
Richard
