LCD-Term25

The LCD Term is a ready-to-use black and white display with VT100 support, three built-in fonts, matrix keyboard support, simple IO functionality, and graphics routines such as drawing primitives, GIF images, and overlay to and from multiple back memories.

It is available in four physical display sizes from 1.2" to 3.5". Any headless hardware that needs to be enhanced with output capabilities or full user interaction can be connected to the LCD term. Requirements are met by using standard peripherals such as USB or a serial port, which should be available on many platforms.

The design is made to be easy to use: four wires are enough to provide full display functionality, all other IO pins can be used as matrix keypad or IO pin. Configuration is done through a built-in configuration interface, accessible through a simple terminal program. No configuration software is required on a host PC. Thus, testing, configuration and development are independent of any particular OS platform. Adding LCD term support to existing software projects is also easy. There is no library that needs to be used to interact with the firmware; all commands are text messages sent directly over the serial connection. Developers are not limited to any particular programming language - simple string editing and access to the serial port or USB is all you need.

The LCD term is also available in three other physical display sizes from 1.2" to 3.5":
