hi all,
heres the project i was thinking about doing : I am a member of my
local fire department, and when an incident happens, i can have details of
the incident sent to my pager. so for instance if there was a fire i would
see "Fire at such and such street…" scroll across the screen.
I wanted to find a way to get rid of the existing screen, and
replace it with say a 16×2 LCD screen so i can mount the screen on the
dashboard of my car. Mostly for the effect that it would be pretty cool
looking, but it would also serve the purpose of letting me know whats going
on instead of blindly responding to a call.
It seems to me that this shouldnt be an extremely hard task, ive
done plenty of wiring in my day, small electronics and such. Im just unsure
of how the LCD screen would work.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated
