Serial LCD Data Display by Brett

The original Midnight Mod, the external text LCD display. This is an easy project to put together and requires very little beyond a good LCD. For this project, I picked up a Crystalfontz 20x4 serial display. I also picked up a plastic project box at the shack that the display would fit in; cutting holes for the display and connectors.

Then it’s just a matter of downloading the free software from Crystalfontz, or using your favorite LCD controller software and you are off an running with all kinds of useful data streaming directly to your desk.
