Looking for a slightly larger Display Module? Look Here For The Solution

(1/8) > >>

Sprocket:
Ive been looking for a slightly larger display module than the one supplied in the web shop. The standard supply item is a little small and the Mini is a bumpy ride. LOL, driving along its difficult to just glance at the screen and it be in focus, im finding myself taking more time than i should to read the info i want. Some will say take it out the car altogether, well, i want to be a flash git :P

I have searched high and low, phoned a couple of places in the uk, but none will sell just the one, if you want 100 then its not a problem, lol. Give them their due, they were extremely helpfull :) Also not a problem finding the standard size units from the most usual suspects, Farnell, RS, and Maplins

Anyway, looking further afield, i found this in the US http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/2004l/index.html#CFAH2004LTMIJP at $46 plus $28 postage and handling. Viewable area is a little less than twice the area of the standard supply item and available in the blue and the green.

Check and be sure of the sizes on the link above

A blue one is now on order ;D

Sprocket:
Its arived, and i couldnt wait to get it wired up :D

OMG!!! :D Its huge in relation to the diddy shop item :D :D The PCB width is about the same, but its about 1 1/2 times as long. The veiwable area is huge.

Unfortunetly, i need to source some variable resistors to set the contrast, i used the ones off the shop display, but obviously they are not the right values :-\

This will be mounted on the top in the middle of my new race dash :P I need to make a fibre glass pod for it though ;)

Ongoing :)

Apologies for swearing  :o ;)
Cheers,
Gavin :)
