All,
First post here - I'll keep it brief.
I picked up the described display from a local surplus supplier; it has a 5-pin interface on the back - this is an example of the display (not who I bought it from):
**broken link removed**
The 5 pin connector that you can see interfaces with a 20-pin (SOIC?) chip which I believe the part number is CA4632; leads from it go to the buttons and LED on-board, and also to an "epoxy blob" chip on the back. The LCD appears to a 20x2 display with no backlight, I am not sure.
I think the 5 pin connector is for power and perhaps serial communications, but once again, it is unknown. If anyone can help me find the spec sheet or the datasheet for this device, I would be grateful. I already have calls/emails into Optrex and Lexmark about the display, but I won't hear anything (if at all) until next week.
I have been lurking this forum for a few days now, after finding it via Google; I am a frequent contributor to the Arduino forums as well. I look forward to assisting when and where I can - thank you!
