Ive had a couple of questions about the LCD

Where did I get it?
ebay, bought two from the same person and they have been sitting in my "awaiting projects" box since then. This model or similar is available from Matrix Orbital or kustompcs.co.uk

Just that model?
Well thats what I have and so I know it works.

From looking at the manuals for other MO character LCD's they are similar and so should be ok.

USB models are also available and should work too since they uses a virtual serial port and the manual includes a discussion of testing using Hyperterminal

The other major manufacturer is Crystalfontz. The control codes for positioning the text on each line will need changing for these

HTH
