Well, it was the first Saturday of the month, and that means that
I went to my computer flea market again. Lots of fun toys, and
parts, for sale at cheap, cheap prices...and none with data sheets!
Got a question or two for the hardware hackers.
I purchased a Sony viewfinder...inside it has a microdisplay
LCD module:
SONY
LCX032AKB8
032D84K
And it has 2 driver boards, each the size of a postage stamp.
Is this of any use to me as a display? Or even as a TV? Does
anyone know how to hook it up, or to drive it? It's a beautiful
little module, and it's my priority, at the moment. I'd like to get
it hooked up and working.
------------
I also picked up a larger, high-resolution (whatever that means)
active matrix color viewfinder...it's from another Sony Handycam
(no model number) camcorder with a flip-out LCD. It has a
small eyepiece just above it. Again...anyone know anything at all
about interfacing to these? I'll get model and part numbers as I
disassemble it further.
------------
And finally, I picked up 5 laptop ALPS glidepoint modules, and
they're labelled for PS/2 connection.
ALPS 56AAA1801A
808-874649-211-A
9DJ05046 A2
GP PS/2 1/F
It uses what appears to be a 10 pin mylar cable for connections,
but I have only the socket available.
My thought was to wire directly onto the solder traces for
connections. Same question again -- does anyone know how to
interface these to a standard PS/2 port? They're brand new and
apparently made for DELL laptops.
If I can get one working, I'll make the others available to the
list, or put them on eBay, or something like that.
