Topic: Using PIC for LCD

Hi,

I saw in the WiKi an implementation of LCD Display in WRT54G. The image is linked to a website and that tells that it provides tutorial to make a covox, but there is no tutorial. It just says to build you need to do this and that.

Can anybody give me any info or link for this.

Thanks & regards

The Covox construction has nothing to do with the LCD. The Covox is just a way of outputting sound through the serial-port.

The LCD modification is much like the SD modification in that they share a common interface - namely SPI.

Anyway - here is a little info:

If you look at http://www.myplace.nu/mp3/images/nokia_lcd_large.jpg you
can see we have the same pins.

SCK = CLK
SDIN = DI
SCE = CS

Since the display does not return any data like the SD card D/C has been
connected to DO

For reset a capacitor was added but I cannot remember the exact value.

you can find a howto on this site: www.nanl.de

Can anyone please put some schematics? The tutorial does not exist anymore on nanl.de.
Thanks in advance.
