For those of you that want a challenge! 600*480 LCD Display $11

John Couture

You all know how it goes.· You are wondering aimlessly through the Internet and you come across some kool project.

All Electronics is selling a 640 * 480 graphics LCD (7"x5") for $11.00

One of the posts on that page lists

John Purbric's page containing a schematic,·a timing chart and some panel pictures.

One of the other posts indicates that a normal PIC processor is a little too slow .... sounds like a SX project!

I'm not nearly smart enough to complete this project but for those that are, this sounds like a challenge.

Disclaimer:· I have nothing to do with any of these organizations or people, it just looked like an interesting project.

Of course you're smart enough -- you use the SX. Now start coding and post that dude in the Projects section when you're done!

He's using a hefty pic18 with 32K flash, 2k RAM but storing the data directly on the controller.

Picked one up.. now I just need to come up with a project to use it [noparse]:D[/noparse]
