EDE702 where?

I cannot believe you are considering spending money on a part, where a simple PIC (like a 16F628 or similar) for 90p and a dozen lines of PICBASIC code would do the same thing. BTW are you aware that Darrel's taken a parallel LCD (search this forum) and run a near infinite length of wire on it and it still worked? 'A few feet' hardly seems to warrant the effort.

Umm no I didn't know that
What I want to do is mount the LCD remotely but only use a minimum amount of wires if that makes sense, I was thinking about i2c bus but I know nothing about that at the moment, then thought of serial so thought it might be the easiest
However if the length of the wired dont matter then all I really need is 8 wires (including + and -V so it's not as bad as it seems, i was just hoping to use a "standard" type connector like usb with 4 wires and so on.

And you know the best ???

The EDE circuits ARE programmed PICs ...

Grrrrrr.....
what a rip off!
although it is a novel idea, if only I was confident enough to program a chip to do it, but at the moment I've still no idea how serial works lol!
