    6 line alphanumeric (aka character) LCD display

    Interesting ideas. I only need one or else I would consider the custom design. I like the dot matrix graphic display idea, I think I'll go with that. Thanks!

    6 line alphanumeric (aka character) LCD display

    I am having a heck of a time trying to find a 6-character tall alphanumeric LCD display. It seems like they are all either 4 characters tall or much larger than that. Does anyone know of a non-custom one or where I might begin to look? I've tried digikey and several other catalogues.

    Sampling a Voltage

    itsmoked: Yes I have seen that site. The thing is, I am looking to use odd (perhaps biological) materials as the resistance eventually. I will change it from a DC to an AC bias to do this. Therefore, I need my own RNG. Thanks, though. Everyone else: Thanks a bunch, I'll try some of these...

    Sampling a Voltage

    Hi, I'm a new poster but I read these forums often. I recently built a circuit that generates random bits from amplified resistor noise. Currently, the output is a voltage of either 5V or 0V, changing very rapidly. I need a way to sample the output to a computer so that I can use 8 bits in a...
