Small LCD display

[Joshua Shriver]

Anyone recommend a good place to buy and model LCD that can be programmed
serially? Something color with enough space to do 2-3 lines of text and
perhaps small graphics?

Do you mean RS232-like serial or just any serial protocol?

Try www.dontronics-shop.com and see about their small graphic lcd's.  They may match what you're after.

Perhaps more generally... Thanks to iPods and color phones and such,  
there are a wide assortment of "replacement screens" available on  
eBay at pretty attractive prices.  Does anyone know whether any of  
these are 1) relatively easy to interface to a typical microcontroler  
and 2) well enough documented so that someone could actually DO that  
interfacing?
My impression is that most of these are designed to connect to a  
dedicated embedded LCD controller that does video-rate refresh and  
such on lots of pins, but I thought I'd ask anyway.  A far-less-than-
video rate display on something like a Gen-2 ipod Nano screen
($11 on ebay, complete with tools for installation in an actual iPod)  
would be sweet.

Thanks

Nokia cellphone LCDs are popular (cheap) and easy to interface to PICs.
Sparkfun even sell a carrier board if you don't want to cook your own
circuit.

I've never come across someone interfacing a late generation iPod
screen...the datasheets for the displays don't seem easy to come by!

Hi Josh
I use a crystalfontz LCD it is a character only display in my products.
With the exception of one mistake in a data sheet, I received great
support from them and their product[s] has been very reliable.  
It is my understanding they resell for another outfit, add controllers,
code and what not.
I am shaking and baking one of their devices now and it is doing great.
In the old days you could speak with Brent (the owner of the company
unlike me he is a superb embedded programmer) personally for support but
sadly in this aspect they have grown too big for that now.
He was the one that convinced me to switch over to an AVR instead of a
PIC.
That might not win me any fans here but were are in the early stages of
development of a military piece of hardware and so far I'm really happy
with my choice.
Nothing wrong with a PIC an AVR just fits my needs better.
Anyway I just wanted to say how happy I am with crystalfontz LCDs.

Things should be as simple as possible but no simpler
