![]() There are 10 cables connected to the parallel port and I am using UTP cables ( 4 pairs plus another 1 pairs, total 10 wires ). Later I was being more adventurous and got 2 version of the LCD Module, 2x16 and 4 x 20 ( line x columns ).and made this below. Initially after getting an Arduino microcontroller, I did this setup using a USB/Serial connection to the LCD Module. This is very good when playing games or watching movies so that you know how much the CPU & memory is used up while in the game/movie.īest on Parallel port ( but not all modern desktop have it ) or go the USB method using either Arduino microcontroller or USB LCD ( still doing research on this one, if you know how to, pls share. I find it pretty cool to output the winamp spectrum analyzer to the LCD module and you can also output stuff like upload/download speed, CPU, memory, hard disk space and other PC stats to the LCD. I did some searches and found this cool software called "LCD Smartie" and there are lots of cool videos on this topic in Youtube. I was always curious on how HTPC makers put in Character LCD Module on the front of the chassis.
