Hello All,
I'm once again having trouble finding a replacement display for one of my projects. I've replaced the original display (http://pdf.datasheet.netdna-cdn.com/627030/DV-16230.pdf)
with this display which I was certain would be compatible(http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/427/37297-239974.pdf)
The drivers seem to be identical, however after soldering the replacement display onto the main board I'm greeted with a bunch of dollar signs ($) and other unusable gibberish.
My questions are:
1. Are the displays incompatible because the display character address codes are different?(I can't seem to find the address code for the original display)
2. Is the replacement display actually compatible but needs to be programmed to interpret the data correctly?
3. Are there any other displays that would be a direct replacement for the original?
As always, I'd be forever grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction!
