Can someone please tell me:

  1. which lcd library to use (SerLCD ?)

  2. how to physically hookup the LCD-09395: Which pin for the digital signal?

  3. Hello World example for this setup

  4. Also, for a plain redboard… how can I use SerLCD library… the Serial debug seems to interfere.

Thanks!

Hi VWY,

[LCD-9395 is a PIC-based LCD and is not compatible with the SerLCD library. That is for our AVR serial-enabled displays shown at the beginning of [this Hookup Guide.

To use the old PIC displays, you will want to follow [this guide. The example code in this guide was written for AVR-based Arduinos so you will need to tweak it a bit to work with the RedBoard Turbo. SoftwareSerial is not compatible with ARM-Arduinos but you have plenty of serial ports available to just send the serial data directly through one of those ports. I would recommend taking a look at [this example from the RedBoard Turbo’s Hookup Guide to get started with that code.

I hope this helps you get started with these boards. Let us know if you have any other questions and we would be happy to help as much as we can.](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/redboard-turbo-hookup-guide#example-serial-ports)](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/pic-based-serial-enabled-character-lcd-hookup-guide)](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/avr-based-serial-enabled-lcds-hookup-guide)](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9395)
