Hi all,

I have scrounged a few of these LCD panels, and would love to try them out.

They are marked FC51088A and 0415C1-D2 on the 18 way flexy pcb.

I think that they came out of some Siemens LOGO! 230RC relay units.

All clues gratefully received.

Alan.

    By far, the easiest LCD's to use with Stamps are the ones with a serial interface already added to the LCD control board.

    As a second choice, the parallel style with a Hitachi controller chip can be adapted to most micros.

    I suspect the Siemens product used a specialized version.

    Yes ti just has an eighteen way flexi going to it. The driver chip is a 78008 sort (Z80 based) but isn't the one that has the LCD driver outputs specified.

    They will probably end up in a box in the garage, forgotten. I thought that they would be good for small hand held menu/display stuff.

    I spotted 8 of them in a skip at work, brand new, boxed. £100+ at Farnell.
