Q. How can I activate the back light in the GENIE LCD so that it can viewed from a distance?
A. Hi Declan, Thanks for your question.
The supplied LCD with the Genie is not backlit – you can however use a different LCD with the back board, and the backlight is powered from the board when such a display is used.

Q. I have used 3 LCD displays(tested and contrast set) on a E18 project board and connected it via 3 positive output pins, however it doesn't work.
Could you please advise why it doesn't work?
And how can I go about getting it working?
Thanks for your help Andrew
A. Thanks for your enquiry Andrew. We've investigated this problem and the problem likely lies with the screen contrast. You will need to adjust the contrast of the display using the control on the back.

Q. Do you stock the ribbon cable that is needed to keep the PCB and display separate?
A. Hi Kate, unfortunately we don’t currently offer a ready made cable that will do this – however you could use a 14 way ribbon cable such as 01-0171 – but it is 30.5m long.

Q. Is it possible to connect a Genie chip to any other backlit LCD display?
A. Thanks for your enquiry Bill. This particular module has been constructed so that the PCB backplate accepts the data lines in the correct order. There is no reason why another display could not be used but care must be used to ensure the display input lines are correctly connected to the appropriate pins.
