I've got a GU144x16D-7053B and have not been able to get this code to work. Below is the example code.

// Uncomment one of the communication interfaces below.

//GU7000_Parallel interface('B', 8,9,10,11, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7); // Module Pin#3=BUSY; BUSY,RESET,WR,RD,D0-D7

Noritake_VFD_GU7000 vfd;

void setup() {
  _delay_ms(500);           // wait for device to power up
  vfd.begin(144, 16);       // 140x16 module
  vfd.interface(interface); // select which interface to use
  // Enter the 4-digit model class number
  // E.g. 7040 for GU140X16G-7040A
  vfd.isModelClass(7053);
  vfd.isGeneration('B');    // Uncomment this for B generation
  vfd.GU7000_reset();       // reset module
  vfd.GU7000_init();        // initialize module
  
  
  // Print Noritake on screen.
  vfd.print("Noritake");
}

void loop() {
}[/CODE]

My wiring is 100% correct, just nothing on the screen. If I take the SIN wire off and connect it randomly I can get random text on the screen so I know the display works. I downloaded the code above and it did not work in Arduino IDE 1.0.5.
