Generic Eric:

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.

Aceldamor:

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

chrisindfw:

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....

chrisindfw:

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.
