Howto: Wireless/USB LCD

[BasieP]

ppl:

Here is a link from a dutch forum, it shows a guide on how to make your LCD wireless
The text is in dutch, but the circuits are understandable i think

I managed to build a wireless LCD that seems to be easier then the one on the dutch site. I actually managed to build a serial LCD backpack for avrs, but the source code is not good enough for release. I then hooked a 7.2v rechargable lithium to a low drop regulator and used that as the power (if only lcds ran off 3.3v ). I then grabbed a uart->bluetooth adapter from Sparkfun, put it near my laptop with bluetooth and fired up lcdsmartie. Voila! Wireless lcd! Unfortunately, the wireless lcd was not for me, and after a hdd crash I no longer have pics. If you have enough time + money + knowledge, you should build one too!

I have also built one using a receiver and transmitter modules from LINX. It was very easy, but like penjuin said not for me. I didnt really have a use for it. I did it one day more becuase I was bored and had the modules to do it.

how about a wireless lcd in your toilet to check for new email?
or one in the garden for the good weather..

or perhaps for the front of your car (assuming you have laptop in the back with smartie running)

I don't know if this is going to help anyone or not, but www.genovation.com makes a wireless MiniTerm (LCD + keypad). It's available as 900-W and 904-W (I think). They are not on the website anymore, so you'd have to call or email probably.
