Hi all,
I haven t bought the unit yet but I had a few questions regarding it:
- I plan on using it just to monitor my CPU, MB, watecooling (water, pump) temps...
- I don t want a keypad
- I want my info to switch from time to time between temps, email, status...
Can this unit do this with lcdc? It is important that it auto switches between the different functions on its own. If anyone knows something, feel free to answer.

PS: Sorry I m a total noob for this type of hardware and software.

Can't do it

Hi,

The LCD will not automatically monitor your stuff. You need to hook a microcontroller or CPU that will send data to the LCD. Your MCU or CPU will toggle an read the values.

good luck,

Hello...

If you don't require a keypad you may want to look at part #LCD4041...

Thanks for ur quick reply, I m ordering the unit right away. Since it has a profile in LCDC it can do all I want. I understand... Thanks for the help, I might be back for some tuning on my module when I receive it.
