Hey all. I am trying to find a source for an HD47780 LCD display that will do 20x4 that does not require soldering.

I saw this blog post:

http://10rem.net/blo...th-the-netduino

as well as the codeplex library, but cannot seem to find anything on the "usual" online retail places that have the part I can wire up to a breadboard, and then a Netduino //+, without soldering anything.

All ideas appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

 

If you're looking for just the display you can find one here:

You will need to solder the pin headers on the display, but once that's done you can just use jumpers to connect it to the Netduino. If you don't mind using I²C or SPI, you can get a display with an I²C backpack already soldered on and ready to use here:

There's a good forum discussion on that display here:

Hope that helps!
