No Arduino pins for the potentiometer - they connect to the lcd, power, and ground. It is used to set the contrast for the lcd. Hi Gregg.

If you don't take the auto reset off, then the arduino will only run connected to the mac _While_ the arduino app is open (as I recall). There wasn't any way to upload the sketch and then close the arduino app. The reason for that is that with auto reset on it resets the rx line when receiving data. This sketch uses the Rx line to send the lcd data to the arduino. If you are worried about removing the auto reset "feature" from your diecemilla then your could always grab a bare bones board (or other DIY arduino) and simply not put the diode in. I had all kinds of weird trouble with the lcd before I did the reset hack. One other thing to think about is that you can only output so much data to the lcd117 at a time. If you give it too much it will spit out weird errors, or reset itself. Good Luck! btw how is cheel this time of the year? Hey RobotGrrl!

I'm using a diecemila- and I don't really want to wreck the board. I have the python script running, my Arduino (with that code above) is connected to my macbook, and my LCD is connected with a 117 from moderndevice to the Arduino. It's not working. >_< I can see the updates in Terminal, but not on the LCD. Can you confirm that this is due to auto reset? Keep up the good blogging! Pretty cool stuff-
