[Today’s run: Limerock Road, 4 miles]<\/p>\n
I’ve been letting my GPSDO measuring go on for about 3 weeks now.\u00a0 And The BeagleBone\/weather station thing is running along.\u00a0 So I took a little break and dug out something I have had on the shelf for about 3 years.<\/p>\n
I was at a hamfest in Ft. Collins, Colorado, probably 3-4 years ago, and I bought two small LCD panels.\u00a0 They are marked G121CB1P00.\u00a0 Turns out that there is information about these on the internet.\u00a0 I was able to find the datasheet and how to program them.\u00a0 They are pretty old technology and probably not fooling around with very much.<\/p>\n
But fooling around is what I do.<\/p>\n
So I was looking at them and wondering what it would take to make them go.\u00a0 I really like this BeagleBone thing, being able to write shell scripts or perl scripts to do pin-by-pin I\/O.\u00a0 But the BeagleBone uses lower voltage for GPIO operations and this LCD needs 12 lines with 5 volt logic.\u00a0 That would be kind of a pain.\u00a0 I do have some small PIC processors that would do the job.\u00a0 But then I have to figure out how to write a PIC program and get the thing programmed up.\u00a0 I don’t know if I am that ambitious just to see the LCD light up.<\/p>\n
