    yer just found that it was 30day trial or whatever....15% off.... is that 15% off the MO LCD and software...or just 15% off the MO LCD? or 15% off LCDC.... if the last..how do i order LCD with 15% off :$

    And how does this work with LCD using a serial backpack? any ideas...

    Just to clarify, you can pick up just the MO display at the discounted price, or just LCDC at the discounted price, or both :D LCDC is shareware, and fully worth registering : its the best LCD software out there by far, and, like Henry says, tailor made for MO displays.

    It should work - I used a very early version of LCDC with a Milford Electronics LCD with serial backpack, and I believe the Maplins ones are identical. It just a matter of buggering about and creating your own defintion file for it.

    If you look on the LCDC site links page, it has links to articles where people have got it going with other displays other than MO (BGMIcros I believe).

    The only problem you'll have is that you'll probably get no support from Mat, as the software has been taylored for MO gear. Having said that Mat's a nice guy.... If you ask, he may give you some pointers.

    [EDIT] Woo Hoo! 500 posts!!! :)
