I have found the screen only works off pins 6/7 or pins 12/13 using SoftwareSerial. For the other pin pairs, the output is garbled; almost as if the connection is not running at the right speed. This is probably a consequence of trying to drive it at 19200.

Could you not connect it to your current cost thing to give helpful environmentally friendly pointers, "the dolphins, the dolphins! Turn that washing machine off!" and such and such. :-) When I first saw this I thought it looked like one of those really unrealistic bombs they always have in films.
