Connecting an LCD Display to RS232 Interface
From: "Deadly Earnest" ####@####.#### Date: 6 Apr 2006 11:31:17 +0100 Message-Id: <dea40b2c0604060331t58a85458lbdcf3d77e32341b9@mail.gmail.com> Hello all, First post on this list so go easy on me. I'm new to this game so there's bound to be a few bobos. The place where I work was throwing out some old stuff and I grabbed an LCD Display which is connected via a ribbon cable to a smaller PCB. Now the smaller PCB has a surface mount PIC 16C62A on it and three wires coming off it. I'm assuming that the three wires are a serial interface to the LCD, and the PIC does the work of converting to parallel for the ribbon cable. To test this theory out I was thinking of connecting up the three wires to the serial port of a PC and connecting minicom to it and seeing if I can get anything out of it. Does the above make any sense or am I going to blow something up? I was hoping if I could work out how the LCD unit works to incorporate it into a project. There's no markings on the unit that get me anything on the internet. I was hoping that I'd get details on it however it looks like I'll just have to probe it. Thanks for any help John | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
