as I learn more about programming I would like "play " with a LCD
would anybody give me some hints on what to buy this is just for playing and learning and I need to keep this cost down. Most of my programming (if you can call it that) has been with the 16f630 & 12f629 with PBP /CD lite and I guess the 16f630 would be the better choice
thanks for any and all help

That's still 'round 30$... too much expensive. I never found it was 'intelligent' to waste your money on a serial LCD while you can do your own interface for about 5$ (including all hardware.. PCB, PIC, +++ ,+++ )in low quantity.
ANYways that model you found will work.
If you plan to reduce the Pricing, look at their Character LCD Section. You'll find a 16X2 for less than 15$ in low quantity. http://www.crystalfontz.com/cgi-bin/...#character-lcd
So PBP LCDOUT will drive it directly.Quote:
