Cheap LCD/OLED character displays (Australia)

[Wilba]

Just picked up a 20x2 character display - part # WP2002A (WP2002A-Y-JCS)

from Crest Technologies

http://www.cresttech.com.au

AU$27.50, over the counter, from their warehouse in Nunawading, Vic.

Looks identical to Crystalfontz CFAP2002A-Y-ECS

and has practially identical datasheet to this one:

Aussies will find them cheaper than Crystalfontz - possibly only AU$11 postage.

I hooked it up to a Core, looks fantastic! So much better than an LCD in negative mode. Great contrast - the black is truly BLACK.

Wiring note: Connect to Core as usual, but connect the contrast pot output (J15:V0) to the brightness control input (VBT, pin 3), thus letting you set VBT voltage in the range 2.5v-3.0v. Don't connect J15:B+ and J15:B- to anything - there is no backlight! Tweak the contrast pot until you see the display - if VBT is <2.5v you won't see anything!
