kylej1050 27 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I filled out the survey as soon as it came in really hoping for this display. I guess I missed it by || that much! Hope to see some great looking projects using these! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spirilis 1,265 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Okay, scrounged up a big 12V batt from an old portable jumpstart unit (where I'd replaced the battery once, then the other electronics died) and one from a UPS. Time to get this shit started! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice! Particularly impressed at the price they ask lol... And that H8 microcontroller onboard, I don't think it's much if any more powerful than an MSP430. Just gives some perspective on what can be done with a little MCU. abecedarian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Superceded by the Renesas RX, it's more like the TI Tiva-C I bet. edit: not even, it lives somewhere between the 2 architectures in capability. Also conflicting info on that page whether it's 32bit or 16bit. Sent from my Galaxy Note II with Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kylej1050 27 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I got mine in the mail today, man is this a pretty display! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PedroDaGr8 33 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 For those that got the 512x32. Noritake is offering a chance to review the display and then get a free Lantronix Xport LAN module for communicating with the display over TCP/IP http://forum.noritake-elec.com/post/sck3900512x32h01-6866623 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 That Lantronix module seems to be a serial to Ethernet device. http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/embedded-device-servers/xport.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Ah we had a big Lantronix serial-ethernet bridge at my last job early on (~10yr ago) to support some old Sun servers. Fascinating way to do it I guess. I never did get my display working but that's mostly out of laziness (was gonna rig up 2 UPS batteries for 24V) Sent from my Galaxy Note II with Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sertsa 0 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just curious if anybody who responded to the feedback survey received a Lantronix device? Never heard anything back from Noritake on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
