Looking for a working Uno / LCD / Ethernet stack.

Hi there.

I'm a new Uno owner. I've just spent the last few hours crawling through the shield list, these forums and Google to find a single, working combination of:

  1. Arduino Uno.
  2. Ethernet shield.
  3. LCD / LED shield.

which is:

  1. Stacked (additional headers are fine, but it needs to be tidy).
  2. Doesn't require hacking on the hardware, cutting or resoldering pins or outboard hardware.

Hacking the libraries to reassign pins is fine, but any references to this that I've found seem to refer to older libraries than the ones I've got (0022).

Being able to use the Uno / Ethernet as a client, then displaying the results seems like a no-brainer, but I'm unable to find a working combo.

The closest I've come is the DFrobot Ethernet / LCD shields, but they share pin 10 in common.

AFAICT, there isn't a single combination that doesn't have some pin assignment conflict.

For bonus points, I'd love to be able to use a display with > 2 lines.

If this is a FAQ, please forgive me.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

Why does the LCD need to be in shield format? Can you not mount is separately? If you can mount the LCD separately, your choices open up immensely.

Simplicity, portability, size, ease of packaging.

I believe I've found a working combination. As reported here:

Just hoping to save someone a few hours of Google limbo.
