Hi all,
I have tried it with several displays, but nothing works;
I am trying to display characters generated by my own microcontroller instead of that one in the calculator, but first I want to know how to control the display. So I tried connecting the battery to one of the wires of the lcd, and on the moment the wire touches it, it just fades away. If I try it with the - side of the battery, the same thing happens. I read on another topic that you must connect the + side to one wire and the - side on another, but that doesnt seem to light up random segments as well. So... here's my question:
How do I control characters on my calculator's display?
I can give you some pictures if you want.
PS: I just read something about Logic Gates (How logic gates work: A simple introduction from Explain that Stuff!) but how am I ever going to figure out the pins if this is even going to work?
