Identifying an LCD screen

Other Hardware Displays
1

Hi, I have opened the PCB of an old device in order to use its LCD screen, the problem is that the pcb indicates no model ID or whatsoever.
I was wondering if someone could give me a hint here of whether it is possible to control what the screen displays.
What I do know about the LCD screen is that it has 28 pins, And I googled the LCD controller model number, it gave me a datasheet of "16-Bit Ultra-Low-Power Microcontroller, 8kB Flash, 256B RAM, Comparator, 96 segment LCD", but that does not help me with the pinout of the screen if I want to connect it to the arduino.

I'd be grateful if I can get any help from you LCD experts :slight_smile:
Thanks

Well, it looks as if you are in luck!

It would have helped if you had actually said it is a M(SP)430F413. The "F" means it is a Flash chip (8kB), and thus is re-programmable so if you download the MSP IDE from T-I and find or construct (presumably using an Arduino) a programming adaptor (it specifies "serial" programming, but also mentions JTAG) then you can quite likely make some use of it and the display for which that chip is the essential driver.
