Breakout boards / Re: Re: What breakout do you need/want?
[quote author="ian"]I'm sorry about the aggressive spam filter, you should be out of its grasp already (or very shortly).[/quote]
No problem, it's perfectly understandable (I run a public wiki on an automotive topic, and dealing with spam is a mess). It looks like it's going to let me post links below, so I think I'm out of the woods. :)

[quote author="ian"]This shouldn't be a problem, and is something we could make quite quickly. How would you envision the board? Just a LCD-sized PCB with pin breakouts? Or more a complete thing like SparkFun has with a power supply for the back light too?[/quote]
I'd honestly be ecstatic with something as simple as this, perhaps with a PCB sized to carry the screen (or not, I just don't want to solder those connectors *grin*):

(That's what I was going to link to originally.) The Sparkfun board is quite a bit more than what I was looking for; I don't need buttons or status LEDs, and the footprint is much larger than the space I'd like to fit it in.

(What I'd really love is a color OLED display in roughly the same footprint, but Sparkfun seems to think people want to build a mobile phone out of it, given the size of their carrier board...).

I wouldn't complain about a backlight driver, 3v3 regulation, and hey, why not even 5V logic shifting on-board, as long as it all tucks behind the screen. But, that's all a luxury for me. :)

[quote author="ian"]We actually have a Nokia LCD backpack coming out very soon, but it has a PIC to provide USB control and isn't a breakout:[/quote]
Yep, this is much more than what I was looking for, but the footprint is very close to what I had in mind.

Hirose connectors (10-pin DF23C specifically, for Nokia LCDs). I found a European company that sold breakouts for these at one point, but it looks like they did a run or two of them, and then gave up. :( (I'd link to it, but I suspect the anti-spam filter would prevent me on my first post.)
