Menu and Game LCD
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 5:51 pm
Hey
Wasn't sure which forum to post this in as there wasn't a general hardware section but hope this will still help me
I am using the ATmega32A for my micro controller. the microcontroller has SPI and some I/O free. I will be using the USART for something else
For my exercise interface project I want to display text for menu navigation and profile data on people when they make a certain selection.
Plus I want a LCD to display a simple game
Attached is what I want to relatively display on the screen when the person is playing. Highscore/username/personal best text data and a little game character i.e. the the rocket in the middle in the centre
So I would want a relatively big screen like 3-5 inch possibly and interface with the ATmega through SPI if possible or I/O pins
And less than $100
Any recommendations on which LCD would be best?
Cheers
