So I decided I would make a kit available for people who want to start playing with LCDs right now. I want to do it in the form of a group buy so that I can buy all of the parts at once at a discount rate.
The kit would include:
- HD44780 4x16 LCD
- Belkin USB to Parallel Adapter
- USB A to B cable
- Centronics to LCD cable
- header pins to connect the cable to the LCD
- a simple command line program to allow you to pipe text output (from logs, programs, etc.) to your LCD.
- Instructions
- Discount on any future products or software I make using the parallel interface.
This kit would require some soldering and is not a commercial product. If you want a nice, finished product, wait a few more months, and I should have something available.
I won't be making much money on this at all.
I think it would cost about $30 shipped if I can sell 10. So if you are interested, post a write back.
Thanks!
