I have a similar idea, inspired by the Neo Geo marquee as seen in this project. orntar's project is screaming for the 7 to 10 inch LCD fitted into the Marquee. That is what I would like to build...one of these days. |

Very cool on the Advance LCD....you'll have to write up a little tutorial on that..might upgrade ;D |

Well... I got the LCD to work great! Had to modify some of the lcd files... I am working on a little program to help you program them. Now the ---smurfy--- part. I drilled the hole for it on my control panel and took the db9 connector off to see if I can extend it to make some room and ... ZAP... The damn thing dont work now. back to ebay I go to buy another... |
| Aceldamor:
bummer about your screen >:(....but cool about the program. ;D did you have to hard solder the db9? Are you going to write a little tutorial on how you did this? I've got to see how this whole shabang works before I replace my LCD screen plans.. I've got the old version of an Advance that is screaming to be used again.... |

Well... It turns out I didnt fry it after all... I took the second board off and when I put it back on it didnt make a good connection. Basically all I did was to bend the pins a little to complete the connection and then screwed the second board back on. I was going to take it off and find a way to extend it so it would fit on my panel. Basically I just cut a hole for the screen and made a cutout for my serial cable. Now all I have to do is to mount it. Pictures will be coming soon. --- Quote from: Aceldamor on May 03, 2004, 11:26:37 pm ---bummer about your screen >:(....but cool about the program. ;D did you have to hard solder the db9?
