RowanHall Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 hello again,i was wondering if this 20x2 lcd would work with the midibox sid?http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/partDetail.jsp?SKU=5005000&N=401also, can i install bright blue leds or will i need an additional resistor? i don't know much about the stats of the leds, but i seem to remember something about adding a resistor. im just worried if i fill two douts with blue leds will it work correctly.cheers,Rowan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowanHall Posted October 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 this everbouquet one is similar to the batron on the previous post.http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/partDetail.jsp?SKU=5005267&N=401i dont know anything about lcd drivers and i tried comparing the datasheets with the hitachi one. but i didn't really know what to be looking for. the only thing i noticed was the pinouts are the same?please could somebody advise on compatability as i am lost! :sif neither are compatible, are there other blue/white alternatives?thanks in advance! :)Rowan Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moebius Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Hmm.I didn't check the datasheet - only "catalogue" info. online: "4/8bit interface" plus "standard" means HD44780 compatible controller - It's a Midibox ready!And for the leds - Â those have a current and a voltage drop rating . It's better to read:http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/components/led.htmthan trying to explain it - those blue ones need more power = smaller current limiting resistors.I don't know if DOUTs can support that power -- Yes, I guess. ;)Bye, Moebius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowanHall Posted October 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 thats great news!cheers moebius! greatly appreciated! :)thanks also for the led info.Rowan Hall :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
