[sdiy] Cheapo LCD display

[Eric Brombaugh]

A few months back I came across a website that described reverse 
engineering an inexpensive surplus graphic LCD display. I designed my 
own board for it incorporating an inexpensive Microchip dsPIC processor 
and I've been testing it out for the last few weeks. More details here:

Probably the most interesting applications running on it now are simple 
proof-of-concept real-time Oscilloscope and Spectrum analyzer functions. 
They're crude but functional and pictures plus source code are available 
at the site above. Could be prettied up and extended (or even combined 
into a multi-mode device) and might make an interesting DIY feature for 
a modular synth.

Comments / questions invited.
