I want a white/black LCD for my sammichSID, would it be possible to use this one?
763-0220GZ-FSW-GBW
Datasheet http://www.newhavendisplay.com/specs/NHD-0220GZ-FSW-GBW-L.pdf
It seems to have the same pin-out, so I guess it would be ok, or?
Same pinout? It’s completely different! It’s a single row of 16 pads at the top edge, instead of 2x8 on the left side.
The ultimate white/black LCDs are the Optrex STEP displays:

I have the white on black one. It will work, but the pinout is slightly different, the backlight pins are at the opposite end of the header, which means you need to cut a couple of pins on the header and connect them to the pads on the LCD with two wires. It’s an easy job to do, if you’re interested, I’ll post instructions and a photo of how I did it.
You’ll probably need a new male header for the LCD, I have plenty of spares.

haha, oops, looked at the wrong datasheet, but thanks a lot for pointing that out.

Think I got it, but you’re welcome to post instructions just in case and maybe somebody else is interested in that also?
Thanks a lot for all your help!
