WoW! Just realised I haven't been on PM for far too long...where does the time go???
I've not been developing anything new recently as my time has been spent in other parts of the business...

Anyway, enough rambling...

As a bit of a hobby project, I'm trying to make a RaspberryPi power this LCD unit. Pretty much new ground for me, and I'm hoping to learn more about Debian and some of the lower-level Perl modules through this...

I've followed the instructions to get the LCD connected and the C demo program works so I know both the RaspberryPi and the LCD work and are connected together correctly.

So I'm left with several options on how to tackle this...here are some of them I've thought of, no doubt there are others:

So far, I've installed RPi::WiringPi which was a mission to do...

But, I haven't managed to get any code to operate the LCD.

Who has experience of this kind of LCD unit and which approach would you start with?
