CHEAP serial 8x24 LCD!!!

Posts: 46,084
Electronics Goldmine sells a surplus LCD for $5 from an AT&T phone
terminal.
http://sales.goldmine-elec.com/prodinfo.asp?prodid=3438
With that and a programmed EEPROM from:
http://www.pjrc.com/store/39f512_jw002_plcc.html
It converts the display to a 8 line by 24 character serial terminal
at 19200,8,n,1. There is a command set for the display to change
fonts, scrolling, and more at:
http://www.pjrc.com/tech/mp3/lcd_protocol.html
So for about ~$25 (depending on shipping costs for the LCD and
EEPROM) you get a serial display that will work as long as you can
generate 19200 baud.

have you tried this? it sounds too good to be true, $5 for the LCD? And its
got a socket for the EEPROM! Just wondering, ;cause it doesn't mention PN
JW-002 on the electronics goldmine site, but the hyundai part numbers do
match up with the earth website. I'll buy one today, thanks for the tip!

LCD's. They eventually work if you cycle the power enough times, but not
reliable enough for a real product. If you must do serial, go with the Scott
Edwards stuff. Its pricey, but it works.

Just out of curiousity...I've heard everyone mention
the "Scott Edwards" stuff, which I myself have never
tried, but I've never seen anyone mention the
PIC-an-LCD by Dale Wheat (Which I HAVE tried, and it
works nice) or the EDE702 (E-Lab, which I haven't
tried, but have used their keypad decoder).
I like the PIC-an-LCD solution, myself...And I find it
quite easy to run with my BS2s with nothing more than
the chip, crystal, a resistor and a capacitor, which
isn't too bad when you can fit them in less space than
the piggy-back boards.
Anyone else?

their suggestions on power, etc... they fail to power up and initialize the
LCD properly 9 out of 10 times.

Another alternative is Matrix Orbital (www.matrixorbital.com). Not
too pricey, but not cheap either.
They make some fantasic serial LCDs. RS232, I2C, or USB
based.
They are easy to control too!!
Examples on my web site: http://www.lennard.net.nz/ follow the
links...

Nobody on this group uses the above devices?
