endernoumea Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Are these LCD screen usable for MBNG ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1602-Character-LCD-Module-Display-Anzeigen-2X16-Zeichen-/300597393955?pt=Bauteile&hash=item45fd003a23 Just waiting a confirm before ordering many of them :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 No problem with the display itself, it's HD44780 compliant, but like Duggle stated you plan to use multiple of these the wiring might be a pain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endernoumea Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thank you for this information. And you are right about the wiring difficulty. In fact i'm planning to use a little piece of veroboard to convert the 1x16 to 2x8 pin with some DIL and SIL Pin Header. Then i should be able to connect the LCD "normaly" ^^ Ender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Look attractive for this price! :) Concerning the adaptor: Ilmenator proposed that a PCB layout for a small adaptor could be created and ordered at Osh Park: I liked this idea, and will probably go for this solution.

TK. Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Just created an adapter and ordered it at OSH Park: (The J15 connector will be mounted upside down, therefore the pins are mirrored - it's 1:1 compatible with a 2x20 CLCD, the same cable can be used) Three boards are available for $7.40 :smile: Best Regards, Thorsten.

ilmenator Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Actually, the Osh Park boards allow for very low tolerances even for traces / pins close to the board's edges, so you could probably even decrease board size some more.
