Mr modnaR Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 hi,does anyone have a 40x2 lcd from Matrix Orbital? if so, could you tell me the distances between the mounting hole centres, as it doesn't appear to be in any of their documentation. is it a standard size?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tel3 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I would think it is a standard dimension like on others of the same size, but I'm not totally sure. You could compare data sheets with another brand of the same size and maybe figure it out that way? Or, If you already have the display you could measure it out. It may be hard to get it totally accurate though...Somewhat obvious info but it might help?-tel3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr modnaR Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 yeah thanks man. i was looking at the matrix orbital ones, but their datasheet only gives outer dimensions of the pcb, not hole positions. if they're standard, then that's ok, as there are others out there that give full dimensions. i'll probably end up buying them and measuring them.cheers.

toneburst Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hi Mr modnaR,were you thinking of this one by any chance?http://www.matrixorbital.com/product_info.php?pName=mosal202cxr&cName=lcd-mos-character-lcdsLooks very like the disappointingly-pink red neg one I got form the Stateshttp://www.crystalfontz.com/products/2002a-color/index.html#CFAH2002ARMIJPWhen it came the background was pink, rather than black. It looked quite nice anyway, actually. Until I fried it... :(You might want to find out if anyone else has used the one you're thinking of, as the pics can be a bit deceptive.Incidentally, were you planning to try and find a UK supplier for these? Some of these companies have a high minimum order, I've noticed too.Cheers,Alexhttp://www.toneburst.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr modnaR Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 no, i was looking for two 40x2s:http://www.matrixorbital.com/product_info.php?pName=mopal402abyfy&cName=lcd-mop-character-lcdsfor the MBSEQ.the one you listed is a serial LCD, not parallel, and as such won't work with midiboxen unless you're clever with the old programmerating.yeah i got the same 20x2 negative red lcd as you i think from crystalfontz. i was disappointed too. :'(all the uk suppliers bump the prices up tremendously. matrix orbital seem to be pretty good. i'm sure there are cheaper though.cheers.
