Serial LCD with 10 buttons

Post by JonL »

Hello, I'm new at this, so will need some guiding.

I'm starting a software/hardware application that would require an LCD character display with the following specs:

- serial communication
- 2X20 character display
- 10 push-buttons

Does anyone know where I could get a display like that?

Thanks!

2x20 is not such a common size, but there are plenty of 2x16 and 4x20 LCD modules. You can get serial interface modules with small keypads (or connectors for extra keypads) from www.matrixorbital.com and www.crystalfontz.com and probably a few others too.

There are a few microcontroller projects on this forum with details of how to build your own if you are into electronics and programming. Search for keywords like "backpack" and "controller" on the forum.

Thank you Mattcro.

I'm more on the software side, so would need a merely "plu n' play" hardware solution.

But I'll search the forum for that.

Thanks!
