• 1. Did you have problem getting started with the module?

I had a little trouble getting the display hooked up at first as no connector that I had on hand was quite right. I waited a week meaning to get the connector and then finally just took a few minutes and got something that would work to fit.

• 2. How did you connect the display with your device

Serial connection initially. I believe it could be parr

• 3. What did you use the display for?

It is currently displaying the status for an HPLC system so that it can be monitored from across a lab at a glance.

• 4. Which processor/MCU/OS did you use?

It was initially hooked up to an msp430. It is now hooked up to a Windows NT machine. There maybe an intermediary but I am not by it now and it was actually set up over the last weekend by someone else.

• 5. What type of commands would you like to see?

Off hand I remember having some level of difficulty getting multiple bar graphs to display and change with new data. I finally limited it to 4 graphs with one per user window and it worked. It now shows many more but that may be through a parallel connection to the HPLC PC.

I tried very hard to increase the user-screens past the limit of 4 but was not about to work it out at the time. Up to 8 or so would be nice.

Nice and simple font modifiers are always welcome. We could use a lot of subscript and superscript fonts to improve the readability of the status if it was simple to use these modifiers. I tried defining new fonts that were the modified versions that we would need but the was a communication issue with the data from the system being interpreted correctly when we did that. We went back to the previous method of no modifiers. This whole problem could have been a problem with our opaque system.
