DON,
Well thats a heck of a price for a little LCD if ive ever seen
one..I just purchased another bx-24 from PHAndersons site with
another LCD and hopefully ill get my wireless weather station
up...Im still haven probs figuring out what to do with the data
after it is received.. And alot of other interfacing probs with
sensors as well.. :) Slowly but surely..

I got some of them and hooked one up for a test. It seems to work
fine except that the backlight is on all the time; even when I don't
have anything connected to pins 15 & 16. If I connect a variable
voltage source to the pins there is no observable effect with either
polarity.
The picture isn't as crisp as I would like - the characters are
sharper than it appears in the picture.

I received a flyer today from Electronic Goldmine (link below). In
it they show a parallel data, 16x2 backlit LCD for $2.49 each, item
number G14023. There is no datasheet available (EDT p/n EW162C1YMY)
but it is likely similar to EDT p/n EW162C0YMY a datasheet for which
may be found here: http://www.edtc.com/EDT/Products/Specs/19.pdf
There is another "mystery" LCD priced at 3/$1.00, item number
G2294.
