dot matrix lcd display

[Warren Thai]

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on how to program one of those
dot matrix lcd displays? I'm not talking about those 2 or 4 line displays
where write in the letters, I'm refering to those 128x64 displays or
similar.
Thanks

The datasheet is the best place to start.

If you want to do it the easy way, try these:

Are you are interfacing with a microcontroller? If so, depending on the LCD,
and the micro someone may have done the hard work for you already and
written a neat routine for it. Post a little more info.

Yes, I wish to program with a microcontroller.

Thanks Dave, but missed the URL by that much

I don't know about other micros but for the Epson SED1520 LCD controller and
AVR there are routines already written, as revealed by a quick search of the
Bascom AVR forum and the AVR freaks forum.

Some of these links deal with interfacing pcs to graphic lcds.

There are people who charge for driver librarys
http://www.ramtex.dk/products/lcdd1520.htm

There's LCDstudio at
http://www.lcdstudio.com/site20/home.php

Also try the software at Matrix Orbital, but it's primarily geared to their products,
http://www.matrixorbital.ca/software/

Crystalfonz might have something as well.

Someone has created some free functions for the KS0108 devices at
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/rs-rey/electronic_ressources/Ressources/8051/GraphicLCD/GraphicLCD.htm
but you might be able to convert them for use with the SED1520.
