Interfacing robot with LCD

[keen101]

I really hate to post this twice, but I'm not getting any responses in the Electrical forum. I'm pretty sure it should be in the Programming section anyway. I'm really sorry about double posting.

Is this possible/feasible? Would we have to "steal" the old camera TTL port?


i know Kevin Watson mentioned interfacing an LCD on his website briefly, but i think he meant it as kind of a joke.

With regard to LCDs, I've used the seetron.com text displays and the earthlcd.com graphical displays on various 'bots over the past few years.

OK, I'm still very interested in this. I would like to know:

1. HOW to interface an LCD to the robot. (TTL port?) I really need to know how to wire it to the robot.

2. how to talk to the LCD in programming.

*note that I'm not a programmer, but I can relay the information to our team programmer. So, an idea or some sample code would be helpful.
