If you are looking more for a TFT, you can use the NGO one from Nwazet on the N+. Fabian's Article Here on how to do it.

Edit: I'm an idiot - I forgot we were in the GO! forum. Not 1005 sure the SparkFun one will work with the GO!.

Good day everyone,

Please advise

Good advice but not everyone knows how to solder, build circuit boards, etc. I wouldn't propose it as "U don't need to buy module for lcd". It's just another option if you know how to solder up your own circuits.

I am trying to keep it simple here and it seems that going with the backpack is the best approach, too bad it is out of stok right now
This is the LCD I am planning to get:
http://www.adafruit.com/products/399
However I found this in the backpack documentation:
http://learn.adafrui...hich-lcd-to-use
"The backpack will work with RGB LCDs (but wont control the RGB backlight, you can do that seperately from the LCD control)"
Seems like it would still OK, has someone tried this combination?

I have a couple of those at home. I also use the 4 row version on my project. They work nicely and you can easily change the colors using PWM.

Enough guys, I do know how to solder
But try to avoid it for this particular project if possble.
Thank you everyone, now the hardest part of all, wait until the backpack becomes available.
Dave, is this the one you have? Now you got me tempted

Seems backlight positive instead of negative to me.

I have both the 498 and the 499 however I prefer the 498. looks much nicer.
I wrote a class for controlling the RGB colors. I'll post it up a bit later in case it helps.
Thanks for the info, I am ordering the 498. Yes, the class would be helpful, I apreciate that.

Giuliano,
You adding a display to the sprinkler system?
I have the 498 and it works very well with Stefan's NetMF Toolbox, it took about 30 minutes to solder all of the pins and headers but you should not have any problems (.1" between connections). Plus you only use a few IOs.

Hi Chuck,
Yes, I am but just temporarly or who knows maybe it will stay there, I need a way to have some feedback when things go wrong, the only way I now that things are running is thru the build-int led and COSM postings.
Yes, I am getting the 498 but it is OOS
