![]() ![]() Not a bad deal: for $10 less you get a Li-Ion battery, mini-USB cable, and a driver CD, which you could use as a coaster for your Mountain Dew to help with the LCD programming. Spark Fun has a similar LCD display which uses the same controller, only it costs $20. See the PCF8833 datasheet for more details. ![]() The color depth is 16-bit using a fairly standard 5-6-5 bit encoding. Here is a picture showing the LCD up and running with a simple test pattern: It’s actually a good idea to use CS#, because you can then multiplex the functionality of all the other pins and recover that I/O. ![]() It uses 13 I/O lines, but that could be reduced 11 if CS# is wired to ground and RST# tied to a separate reset IC (such as a MAX811). The MAXQ2000 microcontroller development board I have uses a 0.1″ spacing header to connect to the I/O pins, so I made a little adapter and wired it up to the LCD connector using wire-wrap wire. The pinout for the LCD is in the previous post. This device is very hackable, and includes a lot of goodies such as a Li-Ion battery and battery charger circuit as well as a neat little color LCD display with a white LED backlight. In this previous post I disassembled the Coby DP-151SX digital picture frame. Coby DP-151SX Hacking – LCD Extraction and Interrogation Janu8:37 pm eric Cleverness, Projects ![]()
