you guys gotta be kiddin me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do all you guys out there only know how to click on links and open brand new "packages" and say "oooooooooh,ooooooooh hand me the screw driver cuz i caint wait til i put sumthin in my case that i bought from a company who, actually, doesnt really care for us "geeks" just as long as pple like me keep buyin thier stuff so the progress of technology branches out side ways instaid of up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? ????????

somebody here has to know sumthihn about lcd's........................

yea we all know what every pin on every LCD does. even though they are all different. we all also know how to write device drivers for any lcd too, even though they don't use the 44780 controller.

in other words, there isnt crap anyone here can do for u. go get a multimeter and try to figure out the pin outs yourself, then make an adapter, then write your own drivers.

if u think doing the above is a waste, well then, ur right cuz it is, its alot easier to just buy an lcd for $12 off ebay with the right controller chip, solder 16 pins and plug it in and install the software thats already out there.

First off, I'm not the one to talk to; Wixx or another electronics wiz here might be more able to help.

Also, we don't have a pinout diagram or anything for the LCD interface, and the odds of finding one for an LCD built into a commercial product are slim unless you know someone. Strike two. So here's what little I have left to offer:

I assume you want to control it from your PC. To do so, the easiest way would be to hook it through your serial or parallel port. Best (though unlikely) case would be that you'd be able to splice it right in to the serial port and power lines, if you knew which wire to hook to which. But my guess is that you'll have to build your own circuit to interface the serial lines with the LCD leads, in order to get the right voltage on the right line at the right time. I wouldn't be much help to you there. But once you do so, you'll have to write some controller software for it. I've done that part in VB, and helped a friend do it in C.

Yeah, I went out and spent $35 on a prepackaged LCD that hooked right up to my serial port. Took all of a couple minutes to hook up, too. Granted, that's not hardcore modding, but I'd rather spend my modding time on something original, something that's not already cheap & readily available.

I know those LCD's look really cool, and it'd be a shame for them to go to waste. If you can figure something out with them, more power to ya!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Thats alli needed to know. that wasnt hard was it.
