Check out cool color display

Ran across this on E-bay. Sure seems like a pretty good price to me. They even have a link to a Arduino Nano sketch to drive it. Too bad I already had santa buy me a $100 micro helicopter. I'll have to wait I guess :-[ Has anyone used one of these yet?

Those of us in the UK can get what I think is the same thing cheaper here: http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=147 or a similar one here: http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info.php/cPath/32/products_id/345

It does look a sweet display - I've been tempted to buy one several times.

PS I have no connection with any of these companies.

since were talking about displays, heres another cool one

i like that it has alot of built in functions for drawing things.

The LCDs per Andrew links above are for 3.3V logic. Therefore, they are not directly compatible with Arduino. However, the one on Ebay (Lefty link) can take 3.3V or 5.0V logic. That make it directly compatible with Arduino platform.

Good info there Gravitech, and awesome self-plug. It's not that hard to build a 3.3v power regulating circuit, so don't go with one over another just because of that.
