Is it hard to setup GPO's?
Can someone explain quickly how to setup a
GPO to display a message on my LCD when I recieve an E-mail?
Do I need to modify my lcd to do this?
Thanks

The LCD2041 has one GPO... if you connect a normal 5V LED to the GPO and use LCDC you can have LCDC check you mail box, and when new mail arives, it will turn on the GPO...

I seen it...
The one with the bright blue light?
Yea.. I think that is so cool looking.
I want to buy another unit with more gpo's so I can have a red led turn on when my system reaches a certain temperature.
Really nice those Gpo's =)
