I have had a good response to the "5 pack" stocking stuffer sale of the K107 Serial LCD Controller boards and kits. I have decided to extend the sale until New Years day. We are working on a new board that will be offered in addition to the K107 ... the K107R ... the "R" stands for "ribbon" it will essentially be the same board without the 1x16 and 2x7 sets of holes and fitted, instead with a surface mount 1mm pitch FFC/FPC connector for the 16 pin stiff ribbon cable connector common to many displays. The board will be available as a bare board and the board and parts kits will be available with the surface mount connector already soldered on for $1 extra. We will be making our final prototype run next week and expect to go to production and have boards available before the end of January. A picture of the a k107 hacked with the new connector with a small Hantronic display is here. The production board won't have all the holes for the other connectors and will have mounting holes for a small Hantronic display as well as for mounting the k107 --- cheers ... 73 de brian riley, n1bq , underhill center, vermont Tech Blog Home of the K107 Serial LCD Controller Kit FT817 Power Conditioner Kit Tab Robot Laser Tag Kit MSP430 Chips and Connectors Propeller Robot Controller SX48 "Tech Board" Kit -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
