interfacing with LCD -- ICL7106

Hello,

I'd like to interface a 7-segment 4-digit module (see http://uk.farnell.com/varitronix/vi415-dprc/lcd-module-reflective-4digit/dp/1183166 ) with an arduino.

It seems I need something like a ICL7106; not much comes up in relation to arduino.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Regards,

Nicolas

The LCD has a lot of pins you might want to get about 4 8 bit serial to parallel converters and try using the shiftout() command. Each number will then have a specific number of 1's or 0's in serial data. Making a long list of the numbers you want to display 1,2,3, etc and use a look-up or jump to statement.

It would be easier just to get an LCD screen that will take serial data.

Just a thought
