Ron has 4 x 16 displays, very easy to use, and you can even turn the
backlighting on and off via serial commands.

LCD. I remember seeing this in an advertisement on the inside front
page of a recent Nuts and Volts. I remember looking at it and saying
to myself " I wonder if they have any of these left?" I believe the
issue was a few months old. I'm at work now, can't look it up.

I don't know how cheap you want to go but Scott Edwards has
a 2x16 for $40:

They have a universal LCD driver which comes with a free 1x16 LCD.
Check out their website http://www.mpja.com (stock # 12015-OP).
Another option would be to roll your own serial LCD. If you look at
STAMP app #32 from N&V (and available on the parallax website) you
can "fake" a serial LCD with a '595. These are pretty cheap (<$2) but
require a little more code. I've had great luck with Peter Anderson's
serial LCD chip. He sells a kit for $9.95 which has everything but
the LCD. His site is: http://www.phanderson.com. BGmicro has a
similar getup for around $12.
A great place for cheap LCDs (and a ton of information about them) is
http://www.eio.com. I've purchased many from them for less than $10,
with a backlight. They even have some in the $5 range.
Hope this gives you some more options!

print parts of that data on a 4x16 serial LCD screen. Which stamp
would be best for this project? I was looking at the II and the IIp.

The choice between the BS2 and BS2p depend on your other requirements. The
BS2p is faster (x3), can talk directly to inexpensive parallel LCDs, 1-Wire
devices and I2C devices. It also has eight program banks and 128 bytes of
shared (scratchpad RAM space).
Another nice feature of the BS2p is that it can buffer big chunks of serial
data into the scratchpad area. After the data is received, you can parse
through it to find what you're looking for. This usually works better than
the standard WAIT and SKIP modifiers that are often used (with SERIN) on the
BS2.
The BS2p will cost you more, though, so consider your actual needs.

PS: You can make a "cheap backpack" from an 75HC595 and get the pin count
down to 3 (but you can't read from the LCD memory and it takes more code to
implement).

Serial LCD Kit - $9.95. Note that this is different than the
PIC-n-LCD and NetMedia Serial LCD+.
It's about 1/2 way down on this page: http://www.phanderson.com/ordering.html
Details are here: http://www.phanderson.com/PIC/ser_lcd_kit.html
You have to purchase your own LCD but I've gotten many of the surplus
for about $10. That makes a total of about $20 for a serial 2 line
LCD.

I bought the Netmedia lcd+ some months ago and am very satisfied
with it. At 60$ you can't beat it given the extra A/D, OC drivers and
keypad decoder (or plain TTL inputs). Also the fact that it allows
communication with both true RS232 as 5V TTL and the fact that it
can be powered from 12V as well as 5V is a big plus.
The price difference may be caused by the number of sold items,
the country the lcd is produced, the amount of integration etc.
regards, peter

Does anyone know of a good cheap serial lcd. I bought the 4x20 Scott
Edwards off the parallax website, and although it works very well it is a
bit pricey at $100. This is just an lcd! I found one with the same
resolution but it also has 8 10 bit a/d inputs, 8 500ma driver outputs, and
a keypad decoder plus a few more things for $59.95. This one is made by
netmedia I think and is a lcd+ model. My question is why is the price so
different and has anyone used the netmedia one I mentioned.

We can offer you several solutions here. First, if you have access to surplus
LCDs, then our Econo LCD Kit is slick serial interface kit that would fit the
bill at only $23.95 US See: http://www.hvwtech.com/econo-lcd.htm
If you'd prefer a complete solution, we offer a full line of alphanumeric and
graphic LCDs (and VFDs) that include extra I/O and keypad interfaces. A full
122x32 (equivalent to a 4x20 alphanumeric) with keypad interface is $78 US.
All units have RS-232 and I2C interfaces, are high speed (115 kbps) and
buffered (no need to add pauses in the data you send). Backight and
contrast can be controlled via the serial interface. Start here:

We offer a serial LCD IC that will receive 2400/9600 baud data and print to
the LCD, and also includes a serially controlled output pin. Part number
EDE702, $9 single unit quantities. Datasheet and ordering information at
www.elabinc.com
This IC works with displays from 1x8 to 4x20 or 2x40, which can be
purchased via surplus or new inexpensively via companies such as Truly LCD.

Presuming you have one that you purchased, where did you purchase it from ?
If it's something you're designing yourself, that's a different matter.
Bruce Bates
my BX-24 is all but collecting dust, I want to use LCD with my BS2.
I have code to use with BX-24, but it is completely different than
BS2's code. I wonder if anybody else had used serial LCD with BS2
and has some codes that I can try.

documentation for that product (downloadable from www.seetron.com) does
in fact include PBASIC samples.
Using it is very easy -- you just write to the LCD by sendind data via
SEROUT. For commands, you must preface the instruction with the value
$FE. Set your LCD for 9600 baud, 2-line mode, then try this program.
' {$STAMP BS2pe}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
LcdI CON $FE
LcdCls CON $01
LcdHome CON $02
LcdL1 CON $80
LcdL2 CON $C0
Baud CON $4054
