Bad news turns out that my LCD screen letters sticking was a sign it was on its way out because now it's had it, backlight seems ok, but letters are dead.
So I'm happy to buy a nice high quality LCD display and may as well turn this into an opportunity to learn something about the workings of the MB-6582.
So I now need a replacement, is there anything stopping me using an RGB LCD like this http://www.adafruit.com/products/498
What extra electronics would I require in order to put a pot (or switch) in the box some place that lets me change the LCD colour assuming that is possible?
(if I wire this up as 'normal' will it work on the MB-6582 as a red display?)
Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated, I am very much an electronics novice but not completely clueless and very happy to learn.
Much Thanks,
SF
