Hi,
Wondered if anyone can advise me on a UK source or equivalent part for the above Powertip Glcd.
Its the one used in the EPE magazine projects - that was originally stocked by RS - however RS now say its no longer available and use the 532 7120 by Displaytech.
According to the Displaytech spec sheet this uses a S6B0724 controller, which I have read, has page orientated video memory whereas the PG12864 uses the T6963C controller which has linear oriented video memory.
As I understand it then, the DisplayTech unit will not be compatible with the original EPE software.
Would be good if someone could advise my assumption is correct and of a known equivalent that will work with the EPE projects.
thanks
Richard
