Progress is being made on my little inclinometer project, so I am looking for a graphical display that I can order next week. I've been using the Parallax 2X16 display to date, but now I'm getting more ambitious.
DigiKey carries this Newhaven Display. It is graphic, serial, and 46X34 mm. Its apparent downside is the cable. I prefer pins for being rugged -- at least that is my current bias.
1) Are those flex cables really that fragile? I have soldered to them, cut, scrapped, and resoldered. But I keep worrying when I will eventually run out of cable.
2) Any other recommendation for a serial display of the same size or larger for about $20?
3) Is moving to I2C much more than learning the new protocol? I am using Assembly and have considered upgrading from my 12F683 to a 12F1840 with hardware serial communication.
