Matrix orbital serial lcd - atmel atmega pic 8051
Important changes in the original listing:
For Embedded Engineers and Hobbyists!!
MATRIX ORBITAL INTELLIGENT FRONT PANEL DISPLAY
(LCD display from a kit for a failed product that never got to production)
(Easily interfaces with Atmel, Microchip and 8051, 8052 derivatives)
MATRIX ORBITAL Part #: LK202-25
[1] One custom made power cable to power the display.
[2] One (1) of the aforementioned MATRIX ORBITAL intelligent LCD front panel displays.
[4] CD with drivers. Lots of information on this CD. Also includes application called "LCD Tester" - For more details, read on.

* Intelligent Front Panel Displays support RS-232 level signals
* It also supports RS-232 TTL signals
* It also supports the I2C protocol (slave mode)
* However, it DOESN'T support the USB communication protocol.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
* Possibilities are endless !!
* Let your imagination run wild!
* Provisions for pushbutton inputs via six (6) GPIO pins.
* Embedded Linux compatible - See hyperlinks below - lots of discussions regarding this product on the Linux Open Forums
* Hundreds of App Notes available on the WEB. Just do a search on the keywords "Maxtrix Orbital LK-202"

* The photos I show here are screen captures of the application LCD TESTER running on a Win 2000 machine.
* Any self respecting hobbyist/developer would appreciate what this piece of software does. It allows you to "exercise" your brand new Intelligent LCD Front Panel displays using a free serial port of your computer.
* See screen captures in this listing below.
** One can send text and limited graphics to the device.
** One can set the default screen on power up. Information is stored in persistent storage. (flash memory?)
** One can change text, state of cursor, and type of cursors in realtime.
** One can set up the contrast and brightness.
** One can setup the baud rate at which the device will communicate with the host. Support the popular baud rates all the way to 115200 baud.
** With the proper application, one can display the fan's RPM and the processor's temperature in realtime.

Now, let's talk about the application called "LCD Tester":
*** Installs in just minutes and installation program will install an icon on your Desktop.
*** Invoke application, and you will be able to choose the baud rate, serial port and other parameters on the start up screen.
*** When this application is sending out hex/decimal commands out to the LCD controller, it also displays the HEX command sent out to you on the right side of the screen!! - It is just like having one of those expensive Serial protocol analyzers right in front of you!!
*** This will delight any embedded engineer who has tried interfacing with other intelligent devices.
*** I have a hyperlink below that brings you to a pdf - the command set used by this intelligent display.
**** I have a short video on just for your pleasure. Although quite lame, the short video still gives you a picture on what this Intelligent Front Panel LCD display can do - given the right device drivers - drivers the you will write.
See a video of the Intelligent LCD Front Panel Display in action..

=> For Embedded engineers, hobbyists and students alike!!
=> Not for casual programmers!! But, you are welcome if you are up for a good challenge !!
=> Although these LCDs come with a driver CD, it doesn't come with applications that display Temperature, RPM, Voltage readings or other parameters that a typical consumer would expect.
=> Such applications mentioned above will have to be written and developed by you, the Embedded Engineer.
