I believe you can get an industry standard LCD from maplin although I don't know codes or anything like that. However, check out wiring guide here... http://www.overclockers.com.au/techstuff/a_diy_lcd/ It'll set you back price of LCD, a printer cable (possibly a connector instead if you wanna do a good job on it) and a molex Pretty good way to have an LCD on the cheap!
Hi, the following are prices and codes for maplins parallel LCD's they all use Hitachi HD44780 compatible display controlers: RM88V - 2x16 - £11.055 RM89W - 2x20 - £25.523 RM90X - 2x40 - £34.034 RM91Y - 4x20 - £34.034 All prices above include VAT I have the RM91Y LCD and it works great with LCDCenter, Winamp plugins etc.. Note: Chris -[tBG] on this forum bought RM88V and couldnt get it to work, not sure why, but this is just a word of warning. Hope this helps.
