The Hackspace has a few Varitronix MGLS24064 LCD panels (thanks Andy C!) which are graphical 240 x 64 pixel displays with back lights and Toshiba T6963C chips.

This project will drive the display from a vanilla Arduino.

Pinout: -

  • 1 = FG
  • 2 = VSS
  • 3 = VDD
  • 4 = Vo
  • 5 = /WR
  • 6 = /RD
  • 7 = /CE
  • 8 = C/D
  • 9 = NC
  • 10 = /RST
  • 11 = DB0
  • 12 = DB1
  • 13 = DB2
  • 14 = DB3
  • 15 = DB4
  • 16 = DB5
  • 17 = DB6
  • 18 = DB7
  • 19 = FS - font select "H" for 6x8 font & "L" for 8x8 font
  • 20 = NC
  • LED+ = backlight
  • LED- = backlight

A similar Varitronix display is supported by u8glib...
