You need to read carefully, sometimes they are pulls, sometimes they are extended temperature. I've never known them to try to decieve me, but they do have some strange stuff. However, even the high-priced spread has been getting more reasonable. DigiKey has a nice Lumex LCD for around $5. But I see B.G. currently has 24x2 LED backlit for $5. $4 with an EL backlight. Their LCD1003 is in an annoying bezel, but it's cheap ($27/10) and I've used a few of them quite successfully. I have a picture of one on http://www.qsl.net/wb8rcr/AD9850.html (the bezel in the picture has been trimmed). But the pin spacing on them is 0.05" so that, plus the bezel, can mean it can take a little time to use it. --McD _______________________________________________ http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
