Hello to all.
This is my first post here, I did a bunch of searches and could not find an answer to my problem, So I am posting here.
Problem: I have a device ( a digital micrometer ) on it is a small LCD display. the PCB cannot be moved, but I want to remote locate the display and hopefully use a larger one at the same time.
the LCD display connects to the PCB by a small piece of conductive rubber I have removed the rubber and I can solder wires to each of the contacts to connect to the remote display. There are 19 contacts on the PCB. as of now I do not know the pinouts.
SO what will be easier? to try and find a larger LCD unit, or convert to LED, I have many 7-segment LED displays in my parts bins, but buying a new LCD is not a problem.
I figure either way I will have to build a power supply for the remote display because of the size difference and the fact that the Micrometer works off one 1.5v button battery.
if anyone knows what the pinout on LCDs like this are (I have seen many things that are set up the same way as the Micrometer) that would save me the time of figureing it all out and would be greatly appreciated. even just a rough idea would be great.
By the way the LCD appears to be 5 digits with a minus sign to the left and a millimeter mark (mm) to the right.
Thank you in advance and if you have any ideas or thoughts please post I am always open to trying things a different way.
Thank you
