Has anyone ever used or can the prop run this LCD dot matrix display? I see it has on board driver IC that are common. I think that it would be an easy thing to tie to the propeller but I am still new in the display arena, thus my asking.

here is the link

Thanks in advance.

    Need to make your prop design easier or secure? Get a PropMod has crystal, eeprom, and programing header in a 40 pin dip 0.7" pitch module with uSD reader, and RTC options.

    Looks like someone else has already tried to interface one of these displays to the Propeller. Looks like a nice display.

    I was seriously considering that SparkFun display, but after doing some research this looks like it's a much better option even though it's a more expensive I think the price is still very reasonable for the capabilities is has. Plus, it looks like it's a lot easier to interface it to the Prop than the SparkFun LCD.
