Hello everyone. I have recently raided an old fax machine and am wanting to use its LCD. I am trying to get info on the lcd so that I can connect it to my basic stamp BS2px-24. I will tell you everything I·have·found out about the lcd.
On the front it has a sticker reading Toshiba TLC 1101-101 [url=mailto:G@K]G2K[/url] made in japan.
On the back of the board printed in white is
GEB-2294V-O S
ZQ8110-161
TLC 1101
Apparently the chip next to the main plug is the LCD driver. it is a T6963C 0101·and I found a pdf here http://www.lcdinfo.com/lcd/datasheets/e007211.pdf
And the RAM (I know its ram because "RAM1" is printed on the board [noparse]:)[/noparse] Alittle info here ·http://www.controlchips.com/displays.htm)·has·written on·it,
TOSHIBA TC5565AFL-12L
Japan 8914HCK
The two chips in the center (XD1 and XD2 printed on board)·are
TOSHIBA
T778A
And the chip on the left(YD1 on board) ·is a T6961B
Here are pictures I took of the board. I can email higher resolution photos if you need.http://tntech.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2008065&l=ce437&id=52701181
The plug has 20 pins
I have no idea how to wire this thing up. Please help.
Thanks,
Brian

Am I just wasting my time or could this thing be used with a basic stamp?
Thanks

For one reason, that board has multiple chips of the same type. They all drive the lcd in sequence, but if you don't have the pinout of the connector, and you don't have a schematic, your looking at a challenge.
Basically your going to have to end up tracing all the connections to each chip to figure out exactly how each is connected.
Usually time = money, and there are many lcd's out there that are cheap and come with documentation.
But if your up for the challenge, go for it, its not totally impoissible... Just don't give up!
