Trying to connect Hitachi HD44780 to Arduino Mega

-

forgive me if answer blindingly obvious seem stuck on must virtually lesson one.

i have constructed few arduino circuits (leds, potentionmeter, temp , humidity sensor) have grasp of basics.

i trying connect lcd display of 16 characters 2 lines.
the file included arduino software in example folder seems short of bit of information.

it gives details of connections pins rs, e, d4, d5, d6, d7 , r/w says

10k resistor without saying or is connected

"ends +5v , ground". "ends" mean? vss pin @ 1 end , k pin @ other , if end gets +5v?

it says "wiper pin v0".  guess means need include pot in circuit somewhere. control brightness of display?

i need learn libraries if progress.  can recommend book give me insight them?

need more information on looking at.
see these typical images wiring 10k pot (variable resistor)

hello  guy, trying flash firmware on arduino uno rev3 atmega 16u2 using atmel flip. whenever try , import .hex file program, throws error " address out of range ." have looked around online , haven't found solution. , info helpful. here hex file : https://github.com/nicohood/hoodloader2/blob/master/avr/bootloaders/hexfiles/hoodloader2_0_5_uno_atmega16u2.hex its using arduino uno hid Arduino Forum > Using Arduino > Installation & Troubleshooting > Flip address is out of range arduino uno r3 arduino

Arduino Uno not uploading

hi guys, so, have arduino uno r3 (not wired thing) when try upload sketch (even empty sketch) first takes long in "uploading..." comes error: arduino: 1.8.0 (windows 10), board: "arduino/genuino uno" sketch uses 444 bytes (1%) of program storage space. maximum 32256 bytes. global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes local variables. maximum 2048 bytes. avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x9f avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x9f avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 3 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x9f avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 4 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x9f avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 5 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x9f avrdude...

Indesign and MathType fonts

-
i having trouble getting indesign recognize mathtype fonts.  have been told move mathtype fonts on 2 indesign font folder.  copied mt-extra font file mathtype folder , pasted indesign font folder.  nothing changed.  indesign still gives me blank box after copy mt-extra font mathtype -->illustrator-->indesign.   guess need instructions on how transfer of fonts done correctly.  i'v looked @ install fonts manual indesign, not clear me on how it.  need utility fontexplorer this, or there other way.  what's weird working fine until had reinstall osx , reinstall cs3, font trouble started.  need toggle "activate-reactivate' adobe cs3 , don't know how close 20 max on this, worried that.  (i suspect because of note on forum might necessary).  thoughts appreciated. i'm using windows, advice may worth nothing...   1) shouldn't have deactivate id recognize fonts. 2) design science gives fonts away in type 1 , truetype flavors....
