L littletransistor New Member Feb 14, 2008 #1 Just curious... I have now finally made my raw home-made ECG device, but I'm toying the idea of having a LCD screen to see its output too. I found some Graphical (monochrome dot matrix) LCD panels, and I wonder how am I going to interface it with the output. Here's the pic:**broken link removed** Could it be possible, or must I need a display driver or any sort of thing to complement with this screen?

S slosjo New Member Feb 15, 2008 #2 Could be possible, but we need more info about the device you made as well as info about the screen.
blueroomelectronics Well-Known Member Feb 15, 2008 #3 You need a microcontroller to control those displays.
L littletransistor New Member Feb 15, 2008 #4 Here's the panel datasheet, but it's not giving enough information. The panel is actually a computer's front LCD panel that shows its status when it is hooked to the parallel port, and with a specific program. And it has an onboard display driver (i think so) at the back of the panel. Attachments TS2040_1.pdf 75.6 KB · Views: 190
