S64128KFCBW-RGB LCD module ?

Hi,

I've got a S64128KFCBW-RGB LCD module
Here's the datasheet.
http://mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/S64128LX_RGB-v10.pdf

Can I use this with my Propeller ?

I've never hooked up an LCD before.

It calls for a ST7565R-G Controller/LCD Driver, Must I use that chip
or can I use a more avaliable chip
http://www.displaytech-us.com/pdf/application/Graphic_Module/Sitronix/ST7565R_V17_960601.pdf

Where should I start ?

Thanks,
-Areal

what do you expect ? I'm a programmer.

    I think that module includes that driver chip. If you interface it to the Propeller it should be possible to get it to work.

    Cool, Thanks !

    Where do I start, What documents or objects should I explorer first
    as I've never done this before.

    Also, Is this an ok LCD module ? I just picked one for experimentation and learning.

    Should I use a different type ?

    This one was only $18.00 dollars
    And is supposed to be full color graphics
    even if it is kind of small


    Thank you,
    -Areal

    You will need to become friends with this datasheet
    www.displaytech-us.com/pdf/application/Graphic_Module/Sitronix/ST7565R_V17_960601.pdf

    This module includes the controller chip. I am quite sure that my s6b0724 driver (on the exchange ) will work with this chip. However, you will need to look on page 50 of this manual and find out the control sequences and change them in the startup in assembly. There will be detailed instruction on how to hook up the caps for the dc/dc in this manual. You will also need to put c86 pin high to select the 6800 style interface. As a reference you may wish to look at the s6b0724 or ks0713 datasheets. It is quite important that you have the correct cap sizes which should be specified in the manual.

    I'd find some existing code for a similar module, and study that. If it's written in C it should be easy to convert it, or you might find something already written for the Propeller.

    I think you may be mistaken about the color graphics. I believe it has a multicolor backlight option as it has a rgb backlight.

    Yes, it's just an ordinary mono display.
