Hi.
Can anyone point me to a good resource for building an LCD display?
The LCD plugin page is great for controller support etc, but how do I get a display actually hooked up? Or is there a nice kit out there, with a good resolution, that fits in a 3.5" drive bay slot??
Hi,
why dont you take a look at the files bundeled with the plugin? are you looking out for - a text or gfx display?
3.5" seems a little small for me. i dont think there are plenty of displays in this size out there.
are you fine with soldering yourself?

I must have overlooked them?

Graphics - nice high res colour would be nice

Limited space in my Shuttle :)

You might want to also look for graphical Noritake VFD displays for example, http://www.noritake-elec.com/, you can find PDFs with exact dimensions on their website (at least it was possible some time ago, haven't checked recently), and even data sheets with the command set if there is no driver yet, in graphlcd-base (used by vdr-graphlcd for example). I have a 128x64 800A series and am very pleased with it.

I got myself an Origen VFD unit. It's a bit on the small side, 16x2 but for me quite sufficient. It should fit into a 5,25" drive bay, drivers can be found at http://www.irtrans.de/ In Finland it cost about 80 euros, dunno about other countries.
