Hello guys. Could you suggest me cheap LCD to work with Netduino. Without soldering. Just plug to Netduino or breadboard and play with it. There are a lot of this stuff on eBay. I don't know which one is fully supported.

PShchegolevatykh,

I have used the LCD shield made by Adafruit LCD Shield, the one in the link is a white on blue with 2 lines of 16 character. They also have positive and negative RGB LCDs displays. Both are reasonably priced.

In using the shield I used Stefan's .Net Micro Framework Toolbox Toolbox it has a sample to use the Adafruit shield written in both Visual Basic & C#.

The other reason that I would reccommend this shield is that it only uses 2 IO pins (I2C communiction). This leaves most of the other pins for relays, sensors and switch inputs.

Happy shopping,
Chuck
