megatronics 2.0 & sintron LCD 12864

Hi

Does anyone know how to link these two together. The megatronics 2.0 board has a 6x2 for the LCD and the keyboard is 5x2. Sadly the LCD 12864 is a 5x2 for both. I have the LCD light but nothing on the screen but this is with the plug fitted to the first 10 pins and pushing the 11 and 12 away a bit.

I have found the pins schematic on the mega 2.0.
1. GND
2. 5V
3. LCD Contrast
4. RS
5. GND
6. Enable
7. D4
8. D5
9. D6
10. D7
11. 5V
12. GND

and the pins for the LCD seem to be
1 beeper
2 btn enc
3 lcde 6
4 lcdrs 4
5 lcd4 7
6 lcd5 8
7 lcd6 9
8 lcd7 10
9 gnd
10 vcc

The numbers to the right are what I think match on the Mega but Im unsure and having trouble finding the correct set up. I'm guessing I have an old board or something.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated. even if its that it cant be done.

Cheers
Mike

Cheers dust. I saw that but didnt seem to work for me but I have the LCD working now, and I'm taking another look at that link.

Now for another topic as the keypad only lets me change the FR on the screen
