    Question Wiring an LCD Module.

    Sorry if this has nothing to do with what your trying to ask but i need some help...
    Could anyone tell me how to wire up an LCD module (from a portable dvd player or something) to anything with a s-video output (red white and yellow leads) and still power it?
    It is for those spy cams you see.
    Thanks a lot.
    Chris.

    You can find LCD displays for car DVD/video games for around $50, surplus. I've got two hooked up to my security cameras so I can be in different rooms. Don't know about the s-video, mine are basic video-out from a VCR.

    You probably can't? - there's almost certainly no composite input to it, and there may well be no RGB inputs either, it may be driven directly.

    LCD_INTERFACE = 4
    LCD_LINES = 2
    LCD_TYPE = 0
    
    Delayms 150
