  • When you can't find the datasheet of an LCD, the next step is to figure out the controller, and look for the datasheet for the controller - or possibly the datasheet for anyother LCD using the same controller.

    The availability of a datasheet is one of the primary requirements when selecting what hardware to use.

  • In that case, don't waste your time on it!

    As a beginner, you have plenty to learn without trying to second-guess or reverse-engineer unknown components!

    Get one that comes with a full datasheet, study the datasheet, and write your code in accordance with the requirements stated in the datasheet.
