16x2 LCD Display

[jason]

We have a new LCD display available in the store.  It can plug directly into an I/O channel or an extension cable and is controlled by a "serial output" widget.  Although it's our design, it could be used with other micro-controllers since it accepts commands via serial (9600,8,N,1).

There is more information about the new LCD display on the wiki.

Nice! Do you have any suggestions for an enclosure?

Sorry, I haven't thought ahead that far.  The serial PCB does have 4 mounting holes in the corners.  I need to get a mechanical drawing up for the LCD...

Hi - What are the overall dimensions of the LCD module?
I couldn;t see them listed on the LCD page
Will it fit in a standard 1U rack panel... ?  (max about 38mm available)
- great functionality - thanks
cheers

The LCD is 80mm wide and 36mm high.  The only problem is the header pins stick out by an extra 10mm.  It would be possible to re-solder the header so it sticks out the back instead of the bottom.
