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. http://www.goldmine-elec.com Don |

These are now on sale for $1.49 each. http://sales.goldmine-elec.com/prodinfo.asp?prodid87 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 pinout and command set seem to be "standard". I used the commands that I found at this site: http://www.repairfaq.org/filipg/LINK/F_Tech_LCD.html Here is a link to a picture of the LCD displaying characters: http://www.kinzers.com/bluebird/parts/GR14023.jpg The picture isn't as crisp as I would like - the characters are sharper than it appears in the picture.

And alot of other interfacing probs with sensors as well.. :) Slowly but surely.. CMOS |

Datasheet for LCD?? -> http://www.edtc.com/edt/products/specs/162C0REF.pdf Not the same part number but specs look the same. Let the group know if you get the back light dimming working, I'm buying a few of these tomorrow.
