Modding Built myself a LCD :)

Found me this small LCD for about $10


(and as always, th wireing suck )
Right now i'm working on mounting it into the front of my case.
edit: changed a picture...

 

cool dude, where you find it?

 

I Found it at a local swedish site, www.adteknik.se they've got like 4 products in total, so it was just pure luck that i found it

 

i've got a 2x16 as well. How did you get it to show the cpu load with the bars. What lcd programme did you use?

 

what software are you using m8?

 

I use LCD-Smartie, it's pretty easy to make show just about anything you want

The electonics in the picture is intreging me, whats the boards for. Got a schematic?

What did ya start with what did you do to make it work?

ride

 

Here's the schematics.

It's got a standard Controllership (the 47XXX someting).
but wit the difference that you have to add the 15K resistor, or else it will burn...
i bought it separately from a small electronics-store, don't know what it was aimed for.

 

damn

/me wishes he were electronicly savvy too

 

I built one for my mate and left out the pots and the resister because there just for variable contrast and backlight i heard and it works great

 

I Killed mine yesterday when trying to tidy it up a bit. not to good... guess i have to buy me a new one
