strophlex Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 I am interested in a 4x40 display. What color are they? inverted or non inverted? Quote
MTE Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Posted April 17, 2008 I am interested in a 4x40 display. What color are they? inverted or non inverted?Its the 404B, the B stands for STN Yellow/Green ;) Click Quote
strophlex Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 Cool enough ;) I guess I will eventually make a sequencer... Quote
MTE Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Posted April 17, 2008 Cool enough ;) I guess I will eventually make a sequencer...Hehe dito, I plan to build a SID + FM in 1 box and use this LCD for both ;)Info : This Bulk-Order ends at Wednesday, 30th, April 2008 Quote
Goblinz Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 I'll be in for a couple of these... Got some of the 2X40 ones before, but haven't found a suitable inverter circuit for the EL backwire yet.Getting quite a collection of displays together now. G Quote
MTE Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Posted April 17, 2008 OK, Ive made now a Bulkorder-Page at the Wiki...feel free to add yourself ;)->> http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/lcds_bulk-order Quote
Smithy Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 I was just thinking, you could make a SEQ with just one of these lcds right?just have 2 rows of tactile switches under neath it, one for the 2nd line and one for the forth. Quote
nebula Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 in which one ?? ;DSorry, I didn't see the second one, but ... I guess I am interested in one of each type. Quote
strophlex Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 I was just thinking, you could make a SEQ with just one of these lcds right?just have 2 rows of tactile switches under neath it, one for the 2nd line and one for the forth.This is taken from uCapps midibox sequencer v3 hardware options:Which display size? For MIDIbox SEQ V3, two 2x40 LCDs are required! The menu pages won't be displayed completely on smaller LCDs, a software solution for 2x16 or 2x20 LCDs is not supported (and very hard to realize)!A single 4x40 LCD as replacement for the two 2x20 LCDs is possible, but keep in mind, that this requires to arrange the GP buttons and rotary encoders at the top and the bottom of the LCD, so that they are aligned with the 8*5 character segments of the display. Without this alignment, menu item values cannot be edited intuitively. Quote
strophlex Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 What does "Registered Parcel" mean? Some kind of tracking number? Quote
MTE Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Posted April 18, 2008 What does "Registered Parcel" mean? Some kind of tracking number?No, no tracking number..."registered" is in german called "Einschreiben", that means I get a record that Ive bringed the parcel to postoffice, if its get lost, thell pay maximum 25.- Euro back ->http://www.deutschepost.de/dpag?xmlFile=link1015122_3915 (only in german language, sorry)If you want insuranced parcel with tracking number u must pay minimum 17.- Euro for outside germany, thats so f..cking expensive :( Quote
strophlex Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 So adding that option is like a micro insurance...Anyway I was browsing the MidiBox sequencer pages and realized it might get kind of tough to make a good interface with two rows of information. I will ponder it until deadline... Quote
Smithy Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 ON a slightly related note, voti has some lcds back in stock,including this new 128*64 pixel lcd for €14.99:http://www.voti.nl/shop/index.html Quote

MTE Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Posted April 21, 2008 Yoh I got my sample today :)this photo is with camera-flash, 1st picture on top without ;)you must drive the backlight separately with 10-12V, because with 5V it dosnt light...Ive soldered 4x1k resistors to the 4 "-"-pins of the backlight-leds, because Im not sure if there are resistors for the BL (there is no datasheet available :( ) ... maybe R1 - R4 is for this, they marked as "427"....R7 marked "913"...Also I got the price for this LCDs....8.- Euro per piece...Enjoy Quote
MTE Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Posted April 22, 2008 Ive created now 2 schematics to drive the Backlight...with separate 12V......or if you want to use the 5V from the Core you need a DC/DC-ConverterMore infos in the Wiki ;) Quote
