Smoothie with 2004 lcd with sd card reader

Hello everyone,

I have installed a smoothie board into my FT-5 and the FT-5 comes standard with a 2004 lcd with an sd card reader. I am wanting to try to use this display before I go out and buy a touch. My troubles are getting the pinouts correct to each so they can communicate. I have the display powered on fine (Backlight is on and the character blocks are solid) but no info is displayed.

Any help on this? Or suggestions?

Thank you,

Dustin
