Re: how to mount a lcd display onto a robot
Sounds like a plan to me. Even one of those plastic project boxes would work if you carefully dremel a cutout in it. If you go the metal route, I would recommend bending the metal before intstalling the LCD, hehe.

As for wiring and programming, aren't you going to need some sort of external driver circuit? I didn't think you could just hook up the LCD to the RC. I don't know too much about LCDs so I too am interested in the wiring/programming/circuit discussion.
