Serial LCD problem

[NavMicroSystems]

...Since I hate reading old posts where the person has the same problem as I did, and solved it, but there is no mention of the solution, I have included working code below.

Richard, so do we hate this.

Tell us what the actual problem was, or do you want us to compare your non working code with the working code and then both of them with the datasheet(s)?

The main problem was:
The delaytimes to give the displaycontroller sufficient time to perform the instruction.

The datasheet clairly states the needed time.
40msec for the controller to initialize
1.08 ms for a clear display or return home
the others are 26.3 μs

For some strange reason the datasheet exaple program uses an 200μs delay after setting the follower control.

I must say i'm pretty pleased with an SPI interfaced display.
Low on program code (if spi hardware is used)
only 3(4) wires needed to write to the display!!

1 commend to Mind
You can connect more devices to one spi bus!
