LCD 128x64

I have purchased DFRobot LCD screen 128x64 pixels, with ST7920 controller. On the back there is a number 12864ZB V1.2. I was trying to make that display work in th SPI mode and I have moved the variabl resistor Vr1 towards R10, but somehow I couldn't make it work with Arduino using your sample. I only got lit up screen and nothing on it. THen I decided to try standard parallel mode so I moved the potentiometer a bit to the other direction, but still no result. Could you tell me what resistance I should measure across pins Vr1 and R9 or R10 in SPI and parallel configuration so that I could be sure that I'm in the right setting.

Here is a blog that walks you through the setup. Please let me know if you need more help

Hector 2011-12-03 23:40:20 I have managed to figure out this parallel, spi resistor setting so now I can make the examples work, however I still do not now how to adjust the contrast I have connected a 10k pot to ground and +5V and the output tof it to V0 but as I turn the pot the contrast is still very weak all the time. There is Vout pin and from datasheet I understand that it can be used as contrast reference but in order not to mess anything up I would like to ask how the contrast regulation resistor should be connected. adamcharlie
