There's no Prop on these breakout boards... It's made to plug into the Propeller Platform, but you can use it with Protoboard or pretty much any setup you want...
I'm thinking $15 for the breakout board + display.
Keep in mind though that there's no real driver yet, just some test code...

Sounds fair. I'd still probably take 2. Postage would be to Australia, so don't forget to factor that into any calculation on $.

Pacman, if you want someone to share postage with, I'll take 4.

If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got.
Rayman,
I will probably use an 8x8 font to generate a 15x4 character display.
Have the ability to plot points and draw lines.
I'll have to see what is possible when I get the display.
$15 for a 122x32 graphic LCD sounds like a great price to me. You shouldn't have any trouble selling them at that price.

Does that byte of memory hold "A", 65, $41 or %01000001 ?
Yes it does...
That was fast!
Just tried it on my Propeller Platform, but it didn't work [noparse]:([/noparse]
I wonder if it's this issue with the data pins labelled backwards on the breakout board?
When plugged into the Prop Platform, the real D7 is on pin 16 and the real D0 is on Pin 23...
Rayman,
Oh, I didn't put ANY copyright on it. But I can put the MIT license on it if it makes life easier for ya.
I used the Propeller Profesional development board, but it should work on other pins ???
I just connected the pin in order starting at pin 0.
Tell me what you have each pin connected to, and I'll try it.
Bean.

I just remembered that you can also plug it into the other side of the Prop Platform and their the data pins would be reversed:
It works!
Very nice!
Here's the pins I'm using now and commented pins when on the other side:
CON
' Change these pin numbers if you connect the LCD to different pins.
PinRESn= 4'27 ' /Reset
PinDC = 5'26 ' Data /Command
PinRW = 6'25 ' Read /Write (can be just wired high, we never read back from the display)
PinCSn = 7'24 ' Clock (data is read on falling edge)
PinD0 = 8'23 ' data byte bits are reversed to make wiring look better!
PinD7 = 15'16 ' Note: Breakout board has D0..7 labels backwards!
Comments
Very cool....
Can you control the symbols at the top ?
Bean.

What we really need now is a fast assembly driver to do 2 or 4 lines of·text·with graphics...
Thinking about digging out some old Palm Pilot fonts...

Don't have a real driver yet, but Bean has volunteered to do it [noparse]:)[/noparse]
But, I do have this demo code that is·a very basic driver...· It's shows the ROM Font on the screen.

For the text I used a 6x8 font to be able to get 20 characters across. It's a very readable font, even with it being so small.
These are on sale at Gadget Gangster for only $9.99 right now http://www.gadgetgangster.com/find-a-project/56?projectnum=216
That's a good price for a 120x32 graphic LCD with a backlight and alot of special icons too.
Enjoy, and comments welcomed.
Bean.
