4x20 LCD with RGB backlight?
« on: January 20, 2012, 01:58:17 am »
Hi All,
 I notice Dave has implemented a 2x16 lcd with RGB backlight in his P.S.U project. Anyone seen a 4x20 lcd with RGB led backlight being sold by anyone ?

Regards

Thanks JSnyder,
 that's exactly what i am after.

Jon, your review of the Akafuino X led me to score one off eBay for $20 and change. Will be interesting to play with, i like the 2 internal DACs. Just have to wait for it to arrive from china.

Regards

The RGB backlight could be quite useful to show output current.
So many options when you have a MCU in the mix :)

Yes indeed. Only problem is everyone will have a different idea of what that will be.
But the great thing is, it's open source and you can change it!

Dave.
