Hi Ian
Just doing the mod that Lehane suggested regarding the mss100 ,
but have decided to insert a resettable fuse  which clamps at around 150mA
...That way i cant draw too much from the mss100 plus if i short out the
p/s
it will hopefully clamp the current ;-))....

HTH
Frank

Yeah - this PLED technology looks rather good: less current than a VFD, no
backlight, fully pin compatible with "regular" LCDs...

And for £16 well worth a wee play :D

Some thread convergence here - cool components have some 16x2 displays for
£16. Look very nice! (in the pictures)
