rshaver, I have used Noritake Itron 128x64 VFD graphical modules in the past. They have a RESET input as well as a BUSY output. I just reset the module before initialization and watch the busy line for the module to complete the command when entered. I have written my own character lookup table and output routine for these displays. Because of the timing and watching the busy output for the display to complete the command I have written my own output routines as well. I could not use LCDOUT, although I tryed........
