Hello,
I would like to "recycle" my old Nokia phone by using its lcd screen and connecting it to an Arduino. I am planning to do this as a end-of-the-year project for the ICT course at my school.
I am a total beginner (I have just bought a book about it in order to learn it properly) and therefore would like to know:
-
I suppose there's a driver included in the screen (something like the HD44780) I can simply communicate with using a library. How do I find out which one it is? I can't seem to find any datasheets, despite googling it for some hours.
-
Here's how the main board of the phone looks like: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Mds1iyUkMXU/S0fUU8l9HqI/AAAAAAAACL8/ZXHzsdsR7Cs/1319^0272^5300%20Pinout.jpg. Can I directly connect it to these pins, or do I have to completely get the screen out of the phone, in order to attach it to the 22 pins?
The few things I have found out:
- 128*160
- Same screen used in the following Nokia phones: 2865, 5070, 6060, 6061, 6070, 6080, 6085, 6086, 6101, 6102, 6103, 6125, 6136, 6151, 7360
- Picture ofthe pin layout: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Mds1iyUkMXU/S0fUU8l9HqI/AAAAAAAACL8/ZXHzsdsR7Cs/1319^0272^5300%20Pinout.jpg
- Here's some kind of complicated schema, maybe it helps you: http://i51.tinypic.com/1089p8n.jpg
- The screen itself has 22 pins.
The final question: Is that even possible?
Regards XD,
Daniel
