Help Identifying this LCD

07/03/2013 9:55 PM

I would like to use this LCD with my Arduino. I have researched for a couple of hours today trying to find some specs on it but have had no luck. Below is a link to the pictures on Photobucket. If anyone can shed any light on where to find a datasheet or Ideas on how to figure out what is what on this thing I would really appreciate it!
If this isn't the best place for this post, I understand, please suggest somewhere I might find some answers.

That photobucket sight is borderline spam. Everytime I try to scroll to the next photo an annoying video ad pops up. I suggest you post a few imbedded photos here, and include the LCD specs. The photos aren't much use without the specs.

The manufacturer is Winstar, it is a Taiwanese company

LCD number is WDN0224-PIL-#00

ask the supplier http://www.winstar.com.tw/main.php for a spec, because it looks like it is out of production.

That's an LCD from a UPS system, it's hard to tell if it's proprietary or not, so your first goal is to determine the power leads and whether it communicates serially or gets its data on a parallel bus, though the ten pin connector points to parallel. If you still have the UPS maybe you can see what interface is on the motherboard.

btw- make sure the LCD doesn't have masked-off special symbols like the one on my UPS, things like a battery meter, flashing fault indicators, etc., unless of course that's part of your design goals.

I was looking up transformer specs for a UPS transformer I scrapped and found hits for the schematics of the UPS it came from. If you know what UPS your LCD came from then you may be able to get some more info on the hookups from the UPS schematics.
