So I have a little project that requires some simple text to be displayed on a DS screen, I don't really need the touchscreen functionality.
I have a working DS and an Arduino Nano and essentially I wanted to strip the guts from the DS leaving the screens and possibly the battery and charging circuit and have the text displayed when the "DS" is switched on or different text on each screen.
I am however struggling to discover any Instructables or YouTube information as most seem to be about making the touchscreen work.
So I thought I would ask the hive mind
Any ideas where to start?
Parts I may need?
Useful code?
Well, you start by having the datasheet for the screen driver ICs. Can you give us the Web link for that?
But what makes you think this project relates to Arduino? Please cite the articles you have found showing how others are connecting the touch screens to an Arduino.
I will have a look for the datasheet but I wanted to bypass the NDS boards and just use the screens as displays.
In terms of this being an Arduino project it has been done a lot before but most interfacing with the DS or using the touch screen, I just typed into Google "Connecting an Arduino to a Nintendo DS screen".
Sparkfun used to sell the kit but seem to have retired it.
I don't know how many I can post as citations but there are hundreds of Arduino/NDS hacks, the problem is most of them are to interface directly with the whole DS (via the game card slot) or for using the touch screen and what I'm looking to do is use the DS's screens to display a simple text output from the Nano.
