The wire has to be soldered to the 20x4 rows display like this...
In order that nothing can go wrong i indicate all colors.
Pin1 black and ground, Pin2 red, Pin3 grey, Pin4 green-brown,
Pin5 blue, Pin6 brown, Pin7 yellow-brown,
Pin8 green, Pin9 yellow-white, Pin10 pink, Pin11 grey-brown, Pin12 purple,
Pin13 green-white, Pin14 yellow,
Pin15 blue-red, Pin16 white.
That's it!
Here is the pinout of the other side of the display.
And here is a picture of the finished display with controller plate, power connector and parallelport connector:
If you connect everything to the pc an power it on, the
first and third row of the display will already light up
which means that it does not get a signal from the pc yet but is already powerd on.
On the next page of the guide I described which software you are able
to use, to control the display.
The LCD-Displays
in the fanshop have a slightly blue/purple background and are because of that a realy beautiful
decoration at or in the pc which can for example be mounted in a 5 1/4 inch slot, or it can just
be put on the table with a small acrylic stand.
If you have enough space above the number block in your keyboard it would look great if you put it there
and is, with the right software a really useful implement to show many different kinds of data
like free disc space, up and download speed or the total amount of the downloaded data,
any temperature, CPU-Speed, rounds per minute of the fans,
free Windows ressources, music-titles,
level indicators, Spielstände bei LAN-Games, a magnificent clock and many more different things
.
Owing to ever more extensive functions in the software almost no wish remains open.
