Extending the LCD on the SVP-1284

Hey,

I would like to detach and extend the LCD on my SVP-1284 and maintain the LED backlight & control feature. The standard 16x2 LCD that comes with the SVP has the backlight pins on a separate set of pins which will make the extension a bit messy plus the connector on the LCD is a female.

It looks like the 20x4 LCD (item 676), 2x8 shrouded box (item 898) and the 16 conductor ribbon cable (item 973) would work plus give me a 20x4 display with control of the backlight via the backlight control connection (JP19). The A and K pins on the SVP’s LCD male connector are controlled by Q1 driven by JP19 and would extend via the ribbon cable to the 20x4 display.

Yes?

Mike

Hello.

Yes, that would work.
