LCD & Keypad selection

2004-11-27 by Chuck Hackett

I'm looking for an LCD and keypad to use on some personal projects.

I'd like them to have a simple, low pin count, interface (probably serial?).

As a minimum, the LCD should have at least two lines ~20 char.  Ones with larger
character capacities and/or graphics would also be applicable.

As to keypad, I'm thinking of something with numeric pad plus some other (A, B,
C, D) keys (4x4?).  One with replaceable keycaps would be nice.

I've scanned the Digi-Key catalog but I come away confused as most appear to
need a separate controller to complete the package.

Cheers,

Chuck Hackett
