    Hi Dave. Dave suggested a 16x4 and 20 x2 lcd
    I have only seen 20x4 and 16x2, not saying His supplier doesn't sell those, only that I've not seen them. That said, here are some links to eBay sales and sellers in, dare I say it? China, where everything is made.

    Depending upon the trade agreements and import policys you might even get to blow off the VAT

    They come in all sizes.

    The one we have been talking about from Dave's supplier is a 16x4. I even have some 24x2 surplus LCDs.

    The ones I hate are the 16x1 , I got some that are really 8x2 but all on the same line...

    So basically just fine a the largest multi-line display you can afford.

    Be aware that 4x40 LCD's are a little different and have 2 controllers (and 2 chip enable lines).

    Hi everyone.

    After seeing Joe's ebay displays, I thought I'd have a look on ebay UK and came
    across this one:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20x4-LCD-Modul...#ht_2814wt_957
    I was thinking of going for this one from Joe's list in the USA as it says free shipping, although it might a couple of weeks to arrive:

    What do we think.

    Almost forgot.

    I've bought the MicroCode Studio full program from Mecanique and haven't heard a dicky bird from them, not even an acknowledgement email.

    I've re-emailed them on both their email addresses, nothing, they haven't even sent a read receipt. And phoned them three time today, again nothing, no one answering the phone.

    I'm a little worried, although are they a small one man outfit and maybe on an Easter break?

    Not a lot I can do until someone replies to me I guess.

    Dave
