You can also find affordable LCD's on eBay. Just make sure it is Serial and comes with the driver. Also make sure it's not "serial ready"

Hello I'm currently buying parts for an EZ-B project but I am not sure if the LCD screen I want is compatible. If someone could help me out it would be very much appreciated. The LCD Screen

That LCD will work great! The UART mode will be a fantastic and easy method. You'll need a three wire servo cable. I purchase them in bulk off eBay. Here is a link..

eBay servo Extension Cables

I usually buy 300 mm wires in bulks of 10 for $2-$3 with free shipping.

Thank you so much!!! Ill be sure to post pictures and explain it once I finish it and one quick weird question do you think it woiuld be cool if I use the body of a 2-XL???

Which 2-XL version? I think they are both pretty cool

I was thinking the older one. More of a classic. lol

Alright just found a Classic "Type 2" 2-XL on Ebay for a fair price for only using the shell!!!! SOLD!!!

I just bought one of these LCDs and have NO CLUE whatsoever how to connect it to the EZ-B.

It has 16 pins in the "standard 1602A" configuration. I think I'm supposed to do the following:

1. Plug in a cable to one of the digital ports on the EZ-B
2. Solder the Ground to Pin 1
3. Solder the Positive to Pin 2
4. Solder the Signal to Pin 5

Optionally, I can plug in another cable to another digital port and solder the Positive and Ground to Pins 15 and 16, respectively to power the backlighting.

Do I just ignore the other pins? What about Pin 3? It's labeled "Contrast Adjust". How do I adjust the contrast if required?

Thanks!
