July 12 HW Link Collection

HW Link Collection

At moment I am mostly reading hw pdfs. Doesn't fit in with the earlier link collections.

Moved some older HW links here.  This is also to document where documents were found online, if they prove useful.

ARM SPI to LCD display (Ultrachip UC1601 for LMS)
(There are commands like 0xA5=on; 0xA4=off, but where are these command officially documented?)

http://www.artronic.pl/pdf/pl/UC1601.pdf UC1601 looks like the data sheet, but not from Ultrachip


http://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/125585 has commands in comments for different LCD chip.
Looks like there are standard commands, but have not found where these are documented.

Interfacing LCD via SPI Might be interesting.
