Hello all,
I’m just looking at the available alphanumeric displays which are out there, just thought I would ask for a few opinions and more importantly advice. Ideally I would like a 10 x 2 display Organic LED type but do not think such displays exists, does a 8 x 2 exists, if so do you know where I can buy one? Unfortunately the eBay seller SURE ELECTRONICS no longer stocks the OLED alphanumeric displays
The one which I saw on this forum was an Organic LED display 20 x 2 characters;

I also found a neat little LCD display on Farnell’s website;

EVERBOUQUET - MC0802A-SGR
I am considering using this device but not sure as I have never used any LCD or LED before! Can this LCD be interfaced with the PICAXE? Can it be controlled with a single output or would it require a direct connection?
I have read the interfacing manual but cannot find the name/code of the IC (Serial LCD Firmware IC) as demonstrated on P.34. It also states ‘For more information, see the Serial LCD Firmware datasheet at www.rev-ed.co.uk’. Does anyone know where I can find this manual I have looked in the datasheet section but no sign?
Thanks for reading my post, your help is appreciated as always!
