  1. i found it.. and set in my email


  2. Is there a name to this LCD so I can look up some data sheets? From what I’ve seen, a PIC running at 40 MHz would have trouble controlling this, so I’m looking at a dsPIC which can run up to 120 MHz or so.


  3. I think i know the answer, I sent my mail….

    That LCD must be too cool in my PC case 🙂


  4. I have had some people asking for a hint… I will say, look closely at the chip and remember that Google is your friend. 🙂


  6. This is so easy that it is embarrassing.


  7. i don’t know how i missed the data-sheet link 🙁

  14. Heres a clue for those that dont know :The letters on the silk screening cary the anser.


  15. considering that the first result on google gives the answer this is rather simplistic to guess


  16. So who won this thing anyway?


  17. Sorry for the delay, the winners will be announced later today.



  20. It’s easy enough if you know what it is.

    Maybe future contests should have identifying letters blurred out? 😉
