I have come across this. How much would i need to change the GLCD driver that comes with PICC to use it??

I have used this LCD before (with an 8051 not with a PIC), and hand coded in assembler the routines required.

They wouldn't be much help to you, but most lcd controller chips (in this case the HD61202) support a small set of commands that are needed to drive the lcd.

I would suggest you get the datasheet for this controller and compare the low-level chipset routines (e.g. data read / write, status read / write) with those provided in the GLCD driver.

If you need any more help, I can probably dig out my old 8051 code (although it's about 10 years old !!) and have a quick look at converting the basic routines to C.
