Project 23 Beginning Arduino

Glowing display



Netalia's display (x3)

LCD display totally glows!!!!..... and does nothing else.

After troubleshooting/ trying the example codes titled Serial Display, HelloWorld, setCursor, we came to the conclusion that this is not going to work.

We read the datasheet at http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/LCD/HD44780.pdf and didn't find any more helpful information. Renate and I both got ours to glow, Renate with male pins, and I with the wires tilted precariously in the breadboard. Netalia got hers to glitch with some display with a different tilt, but none got it to work.
Dan noticed that the back had the reverse placements for +/- but it still only glowed.
