Hello!
I have both the Basic 8x2 Character LCD, and the SparkFun Serial Enabled LCD Backpack. I'd like to use the backpack to manage the Basic8x2 Character LCD.
The page for the display confirms that one will work with the other, but the page says,
"Note: This will work with our serial backpack, but it will not connect directly due to the different pin layout.".
That much I've also confirmed after examining the datasheets for it, several times since.
Has anyone gotten the two to work together? Advice please.
