It Started With a Hardware Limitation I have been using Quectel GNSS modules in my designs for a while. They are reliable, well-documented, and the support ecosystem is solid. But the module I had been using had one problem that I kept running into: no external antenna support . For most projects that is a minor inconvenience. For a marine vessel monitoring and control system , it is a non-starter. A vessel hull blocks sky view, antenna placement is critical, and the difference between a clean fix and no fix at all often comes down to whether you can mount the antenna where it actually has line of sight. An integrated antenna in a sealed enclosure below deck simply does not cut it. So I went directly to Quectel. The Conversation With Quectel I reached out through their official sample request channel. I was not expecting much — most component manufacturers have a standard process: fill out a form, wait, get a few uni...
Its been a while i have this LCD and today i thought of connecting the LCD display to Arduino. Unfortunately i could not found any pin outs of this from any where and from the manufacture. Actually this is very old model which i got from old FAX machine and this display is a very cheap from online sources.
Clover Display M302 PCB Ver 1.0 (16x2) which has 10 pin flat cable. After researching for a while from the internet i have seen in many forums people are asking for help on how to connect it and what is the pin configurations? so i thought of helping them as well as my self at the same time.
After going through some of my old collections of Russian data of displays and things i found a basic diagram of how 10 pin LCD display configuration.
PIN1 - VSS
PIN2 - VDD
PIN3 - CONTRAST
PIN4 - RS
PIN5 - R/W
PIN6 - ENABLE
PIN7 - DB4
PIN8 - DB5
PIN9 - DB6
PIN10 - DB7
I tried these configurations and wired up to the arduino with the LCD sketch and it worked on the first try. Adjusting the contrast and it was perfect. I hope this will help to those who looking for a solution.
