    Default Small LCD module,character

    Morning,
    I've got a project that has a 2x8 Optrex LCD, and I could really use a 2x16 in it's place. My problem is the board size only allows a module that measures 60 mm wide by 35 high maximum. It has to be OEM, not surplus, and I'd prefer not to get started with a graphic board.
    Any ideas???

    Thanks,
    Ron

    Ron Marcus, Do a search for chip on glass displays. I don't know what your housing looks like but the chip on glass displays are about as small as you can get. Most of them are not backlit.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Ron,

    I haven't tried the DOGs yet, but

    the controller is supposed to be HD44780 compatible, so it should work with LCDout.

    In serial mode it should work anyway.
    regards

    Ralph
