[MTE]

Hi

where did you find it?

from a seller ;)

I need at least a inquiry of  50 pieces to get this price (sorry, I forgot to write this down yesterday)

Also I found another great source of 2x16 LCDs with nice inverted red characters !!!

For the price I must deal with the Seller, depends also of the need of inquiry here ;)

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

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.

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.

Sorry, I didn't see the second one, but ... I guess I am interested in one of each type.

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.

What does "Registered Parcel" mean? Some kind of tracking number?

[MTE]

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 :(

[strophlex]

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...

[Smithy]

ON a slightly related note, voti has some lcds back in stock,

including this new 128*64 pixel lcd for €14.99:

Hi MTE,

I'm also interessted in 4x40 LCD and 2x16 LCD.

I posted in DokuWIKI what I like to have but now I don't know what I have to do to pay.

Could you tell me what I have to do?

Thanks,

Housemaster

[MTE]

I posted in DokuWIKI what I like to have but now I don't know what I have to do to pay.

Ive seen that, good job :) What you have to do is you have to wait :)

All news Ill post here, also Ill PM all ppl the details for paying (per bank or paypal) when the bulkorder starts, and you should look at the wikipage from time to time, there I calculate all costs in the table ;)

EDIT : Ive edited the table again, all ppl should mark how they want to pay (bank or paypal), so I know if there I must add paypal-fee or not ;)

[MTE]

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

[MTE]

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-Converter

More infos in the Wiki ;)
