Mental note for newbies - these things are a major pain - if you've got the bucks then just buy a serial/UART one. Had those running in about 2 minutes!
Connecting Pin 3 of the LCD to +5V will keep the brightness to minimum. Try connecting it to Gnd, will increase the brightness to maximum.

Spent hours crimping lots of wires as this sucker needs a lot of them. Hands hurt!Mental note for newbies - these things are a major pain - if you've got the bucks then just buy a serial/UART one. Had those running in about 2 minutes!

No offense guys, but BUCK UP! I think you are going against the spirit of SoR and all hobbyists. If a little extra work is such a pain, why bother building a $50 robot when you can buy a Rovio for $200? This site is about buying the parts for cheap and putting it together for yourself, not buying a turn-key product and just plugging it in.
