    Hi :hi:

    I could use some advice about using LCD displays for a steering wheel project I am about to start

    I have just finished making a very basic wheel, using a Leo Bodnar SLI-M and have enjoyed making it and the results! I have used X-Sim to make some gauges on a second display and want to use this feature to display some info such as RPM, MPH, LAP TIMES on a 20x4 LCD display using lcd hype. The display is a UART USB 20x4 blue backlit. I could really use some help with a tutorial for LCDHYPE and hope this type of display will work?

    Any help at all would be great, even just some info to get me started!

    Hi and thanks for that! Got my head round lcd studio quite quickly and have come up with some good functional gauges! I hope my lcd will arrive soon, its a 20x4 EEPROM: 24C04 based usb unit. I have a horrible feeling that this wont be compatable with lcd studio?
