Step 2Connecting cables

connecting cables
connect the lpt cable in this way:
Lcd Pins Wire color
RS Orange/White
R/W Brown/White
E Black
DB0 Brown
DB1 Red
DB2 Orange
DB3 Yellow
DB4 Dark green
DB5 Blue
DB6 Lavender
DB7 Grey


Now take the usb cable and connect the black and the red wires respectively to VSS and VDD display pins. (check your datasheet for the right connection, for me pin1 was VSS, and pin2 VDD)
you can cut off the green and the white wire...
