Hello,
Well the break out board for my LCD arrived and I started to assemble it the same night. I wonder if anyone else here has used one. I'm not sure whether the main zif (LCD) connector is in the socket far enough or not. It is very small, and my eyes are not as good as when I was young! Is there any way to tell, before I go and solder the backlight connectors in place? Also, does the LCD just sit on the b.o.b., or is there anything I should know about mounting it? Any advice would be most appreciated!
I'm sure I could have found a zillion here in the electronics malls in Seoul, but I choose to buy from Sparkfun, because they are not afraid to share their toys. (There are some really great tutorials. The reflow oven one is awesome, but then the whole spark site is!) I'm sure most of you would love a trip to my toy store; the one I go to most of the time is a few square kilometers of electronics shops, and I know of two or three other places, but not as large. Some parts here are a lot cheaper, but some are way more expensive. (blah, blah, blah)
Thanks again,
Robert
