Basically I am thinking I can just hook up 5v led's straight to the gpo's I have an older display without 3 wire high powered gpos so I will use all 6 gpo's on this display for led's. Also If I wanted to hook up 3.3v leds or something lower than 5v is it ok to solder a resistor to make that possible...

I dont see any quide here I was just going to install some leds myself to the display I assume just like you were going to do. I was just confuded about if I need some resistors or can I just hook up a 3.3v led right to it.

Just found out that they no longer make the version I have DS1820 I see that it has a 500ms max time vs the 750ms max time of the DS18S20. So should I hold onto theese babies for a special build because they are more accurate or does it matter with the MO displays? FROM MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE: THE DI...

Hello I have several DS1820 sensors and I assume the probes that you buy from Matrix Orbital (they are all in my pc so I cant look) are the DS18S20 there is an "S" in the middle of the name that is the difference. I have made several probes using these and they seem to work just fine I was...

I cant find where I asked before, but I am going to get some arctic silver adhesive not the regualr stuff to mount my sensors on critical components. Its permanent and its probably the besy thing you could use. I just remember it was asked here before and the Matrix Orbital staff suggested epoxy. Th...

I have a display that I have only hooked up via usb since its pretty old and dosent have advanced gpo's. basically when my pc shuts down it displays the last screen and stays on I have to unplug it or I am sure it will burn in the screen. not sure what unit it is it has a keypad and is red lcd.

wow I think that is over my head I dont know how to issue commands All I do is use LCDC basically. One of my displays stays on after my computer is off and I have no idea how it takes power from my usb ports when all the other things I plug into them do not get any power. is this sonething that may ...

I was wondering if I could have the display run the fans at 50% PWM while I power on the pc. I have it controlled in lcdc but if I turn off the pc and turn it back on the fans stay at 100% until lcdc actually starts up. If the display cant run PWM until lcdc starts is there a way to just use 5 or 7 ...

try everest EVE plugin everest is about the best program for pc information it tells you everything I mean just about everything. the EVE plugin is pretty extensive and everest itself has support for all motherboards as far as i know you can try a demo but I dont know if it works with the eve plugin...

there sure is now it has support for 3 and 4 but more features that work for just v4. I think it s the greatest thing to happen to LCDC etc. If you are using MBM% dump it and try everest its 1000 times better as a program anyway.

Its been a while and I found out there is a everest plugin! I just built a few pc's and figured I'd get the old lcd collection out and use it for my overclockign and wow there is an everest pluging this rocks. MBM5 never worked for me before on my old rigs but the EVE plugin seems to work just fine ...

I have the display turn my fans to 50% when LCDC starts but can I tell the display to run the fans at 50% default? When my pc starts they are running 100%

I re read an earlier thread GLK12232-25-SM RS232 Convert I see that 2, 3, 5 pins on the computer/cable are RX, TX, and signal ground I think I am confusing signal ground with the actual displaypower supply ground? So now I am thinking I need to hook up the un modified floppy connector to power the d...

What pins on a 9-pin d sub cable do i need to connect to the display If I was going to solder it or make my own crimp housing? Basically can I cut the end off on cable and only 4 connections? So far I understand the +, -, TX, RX, is the red connector and I should be able to use a standard serial cab...

best to just forget lcd smartie and those other programs LCDC does work with all the matrix orbital displays. I never had any luck with lcd smartie etc. I think they are junk really but thats just me. download a free 30 trial of LCDC to see if it suits you I amsure it will.
