I've seen various postings regarding individuals wanting to know of
graphic displays which work with the BASIC Stamp. I have an Amulet
5.7" graphic display kit completely interfaced to a BS2. The display
kit is 1/4 vga (320x240 pixels), has built-in CCFL backlight, fully
integrated touchpanel and onboard data flash for storing the user
interface. The graphic display talks to the BS2 over a really simple
ascii protocol. I'd be more than happy to share any additional
information.

Comments
Please do, I've looked at Amulet's site and thought those displays were
fairly interesting but I wasn't sure how easy they would be to interface.
I've seen/used other things that looked cool but were a nightmare to
interface, so more information would be appreciated.

I emailed you additional information directly to your registered
email address. Since I work for Amulet, I didn't think it was fair to
respond to you via this forum.
