QuestionSo my little arduino clone is fun but I was wondering something Pin

Does anyone know what the simplest circuit to use for a 16 pin LCD hitachi style display is to make it display *anything* or even turn on the backlight?

I got a new kit and I can't seem to get the LCD display to respond at all, and I'm not finding the answer to this anywhere. All the examples I can find use a library, and require the thing to be fully wired up. The problem is, after having done that, even after double checking and triple checking my wiring against the examples it still didn't work. I need something simpler just to do a basic power-on sanity check for the LCD.

I have no idea what the hitachi display protocol looks like in practice and the pins aren't very descriptive.

I know there are some arduino-heads here on CP. Can I get that LCD to do anything at all with two or three connections?
Real programmers use butterflies
