i2c / SPI Backpack and 4x40 Serial LCD

Postby qbgroup » Fri Apr 29, 2011 9:43 pm

Hi -
Does anyone have experience driving a 4x40 parallel LCD with this backpack? I understand that 4x40 units have two enable pins. It is not clear reading the specification of the i2c / SPI if the backpack will work.

Thank you for your advice.

Can you recommend a 4x40 display that works with the unit?

Ahh Cool, Thanks for the info. You should correct the product description to alleviate this confusion in the future.

Thanks
