hey,
I've done a little searching here on SoR but couldn't really find what I was looking for, I'm wanting to use the MCU from the $50 robot to output data to a 16x2 digit LCD, I have this one in mind,
http://www.robotgear.com.au/Product.aspx/Details/428can someone please either point me to another topic here that can teach me
or
Advise if this LCD will work for my needs and how they work, so far I know that serial connection means that I need to supply it was a + wire, a ground and a signal wire. However i have no idea what this signal is or how to program my ATmega8 to display text and values.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I've been doing some more reading on serial TTL interfaces and, correct me if i'm wrong but would a 16x2 LCD screen
need to receive 32bits of data, one for each character? but I'm still unsure how to send it commands and/or characters.
