Yes, I should have mentioned that I want this for prototyping, I only need one or two. I have seen many 240x64 LCD units for around $20 myself, but none of these have had a controller IC bundeled with them. DO the ones you are talking about have a controller included for CDN $20? >> >>2.)

I guess I was ambiguous in the way I said this. I don't consider talking about LCDs to be used with a PIC to be OT. It would be OT if there were no pic involved. So, what I meant was: I didn't put OT because a PIC was involved. >> >>Thanks, >> >>Sean >> > >CIAO - Martin. > >Martin R.
