Does anyone know where I might find a data sheet on an "OPTREX 16117B
LCD"? Did a google search with no results.

Thanks for your help..

    Leroy,

    The controler is the same one in the stamp manual (HD44780).

    You can use LCDCMD (page 159-166) LCDIN (page 167-170) and LCDOUT
    (page 171-176)

    here is some info for you about that display

    Good luck

    Leroy -

    This is probably the unit you're looking for, or one similar to it:

    You might find this web site interesting. They sell IC's for
    microcontrollers. The chip you may be interested takes any LCD display with
    the standard Optrex interface and make it a serial LCD display. The chip is
    under $10 bucks and works great. I bought some 4 X 20 displays (surplus
    new/old stock) for $4.50 each and added the chip and I have nice SERIAL LCD
    displays for under $15.00. MUCH easier than using all those Stamp pins for
    the data lines....

    Oh yea, here's the link:
