Hello,
I am trying to teach myself microcontrollers and LCD stuff. I just purchased a CFAG320240C0. I have reviewed the spec sheet. I am using an AVR STK500 dev board with an Atmega 8515. I am wondering if there are any tutorials that do a bit more hand holding than the spec sheet? Like "A getting started with Crystalfontz LCD guide" etc? My first concerns are how to wire this thing up to the 8515? My second worry is power supply to the LCD itself. It appears from the data sheet that I just need to supply +5V and then the LCD electronics generate the negative voltage for itself depending whether I use External Control or On-Board pot? How about a document that talks about the difference between 8080 mode and 6800 mode? It seems like such basic data would be centralized somewhere? My goal is to build a spectrum analyzer but with a little twist
I would appreciate any guidance at all!
Kind Regards,
Wess
