jimhenry Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I hope you looked at the WIKI to be sure the LCD you picked is compatible with the Core. I assumed you had so I didn't say anything. There is a link on that page to my guide for connecting an LCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did order from Tim all the kits, connectors, and ribbon cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beckham Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I have not ordered the LCD yet so will look at the Wiki. I did order from Tim all the kits, connectors, and ribbon cables. The 2 x 16 has a HD44780 controller. And a spec sheet is available. The other one had no info available. This one is $7.50 so can't lose much in that deal. Will order it with some other stuff I need for my model railroad signal system. Will wait to hear back from you before placing the order with AllElectronics.com Thanks for all your help. Jay I have attached the spec sheet if interested.LCD-16216.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beckham Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 1. If in the future I want to add Combination Pistons/Buttons would that just involve either left over space on my 7th DIN or the use of a 8th DIN? 2. If I wanted to add SAMS where would I get them and what would I expect to pay? 3. I assume that SAMS would require DOUT boards and would they attach to the Output pins on the Core8? 4. As I recall the CORE8 can support 128 inputs as well as 128 output (via DOUT)? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
