It quickly becomes obvious starting out with microcontroller programming that a character LCD would be a valuable tool. From what I've seen serial LCDs are around $30 and paralelle ones of similar size are around $7. All the tutorials I have seen so far are for serial, and I'm getting the impression that they are generally much easier to use than parallel. Ebay has some serial ones for around $15, im not sure if brand matters much if you can find a data sheet.
So I'm looking for advice, what things I should look out for, and what matters in choosing an LCD. Does paralelle require any extra equipment?
