16:24 jadew rue_shop, hey, I did search for some LCDs, found a nice one in a multimeter I'm not using anymore, however it's connections are made with some sort of rubber and I don't want to handle that as well, so I just bought 2 2x16 displays
16:45 Tom_itx called zebra strip
16:45 Tom_itx every other stripe is conductive
16:45 Tom_itx so it's easy to make connection to the pads on the lcd glass
16:48 jadew yeah, I noticed, but it's hard to work with
18:58 katsmeow Tom, where can i buy new low-resistance zebras?
19:01 Tom_itx i don't know
