[57north-discuss] 16 x 2 LCD screen in Japenese font

[Midder]

Hello Wouter

Looking at the datasheet at https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/LCD/HD44780.pdf it looks like there are two different types HD44780UA00 (Japanese font) and HD44780UA02 (EU Font) may be worth checking the number to see f you have one of the former.
