Need a Larger Display

Post by mjpcarbon »

Currently I am using a 16x2 LCD but it is too small for my purposes. Can you suggest an Adafruit product that I could have about a 3" or so digit displayed.
Also can that display be driven by a Trinket as the sketch is very small ?

How about the 16x24 matrix display can that be used to have a larger display counter?

We have 20x4 displays that will work just like the 16x2 kind:

Anything beyond that will probably be out of a Trinket's reach. You generally need a memory buffer to hold the information that goes onto a graphical display, and the Trinket only has 512 bytes of RAM.
