campbellsan 24 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think the pinouts of those ones might be different? Specifically the blue BL one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oPossum 1,082 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I have seen 4 different pinout/connector locations for those BOBs. If you buy from eBay be aware you may not get exactly what is shown in the picture. The parts on the board vary too. For example the LED backlight may go directly to the header pin, or have a single resistor for all LEDs, or a resistor for each LED, and in some cases a resistor for each LED and a transistor.

RobG 1,891 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I am getting some of those white ones, will let you know if the pinout is different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campbellsan 24 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hey Rob, If you would like a sample with a different pinout, please just let me know. I bought five, which is one more than I am likely to use. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,891 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Just got the white 5110, it's the same as my other ones :thumbup: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,891 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 New version of my Nokia 5110 Booster Pack. Additions include optional memory chip and MCU (MSP430G2553 for example.) MCU will allow this board to be used as a stand-alone display board, memory can be used as a display buffer. OppaErich 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fe2o3Fish 33 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 White looks good too (with black lettering, of course). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,891 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Schematic for the new board. Note that some of the connections have changed. There's also backlight resistor which can be shorted (couple of white LEDs blew on one of my 5110s so I decided to add it just in case.) If you solder MCU and headers, make sure you remove MCU from the LaunchPad when plugging it in for programming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,580 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks, I'll update the Store page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,891 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Simple UART -> 5110 firmware example. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,580 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Rob, there is someone asking for the UART code in the above example. I pointed him here. Could you by any chance post it? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
