I'm new to this kind of stuff and I could use some guidance on what to purchase. Right now I've selected:

1 x MOS-AL202C-BW3SJ
1 x Communication and Power Cable
1 x POWER CABLE 5V
1 x B2021-BL (black alum.)

I plan to use this stuff in a PC just for hobby purpouses. What I'm not sure of is if I need to buy an X-Board to use with the MOS* lcd's. I'm under the impression that I don't need it but I want to be sure before I go through with the order. I'm hoping with the stuff above to be able to program it as a serial device.

Any information would be appreciated,
J.P.

Thanks for posting in the Matrix Orbital LCD Forums.

I'm glad to see you've chosen a wonderful display. Everything looks good to go!

As long as you plan to communicate with the display via serial connection, then you are set to rock! The X-board is part of the MOS series. This board simply turns a parallel display into a serial communicating display.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask

Best regards,

Thanks for the info, got my stuff and it works great. Didn't take long before I was writing my own software for it. I'm pretty impressed with the ease of installation and programming via a serial interface.

Thanks again,
J.P.

Good to hear! let us know if you have any questions!
