waterproof lcd arduino in stock

I’m looking for an enclosure for a project that will include one of the 2x8 character LCDs from seeedstudio and should have an IR panel and battery enclosure.

but accoring to the datasheet, the internal dimension is 60mm wide and according to seeedstudio, the LCD is 58mm wide. I’m worried I’ll have trouble fitting the LCD because it’s cutting too close, or in the best case the aesthetics will suffer because the display will be too far off center (it doesn’t look centered on its own PCB).

I’m working with a similar sized LCD but it’s going behind a panel rather than in a box. I am lucky that I can make my own cutout and fit the LCD into it. I’m not real sure how I’m going to protect the LCD though - it will be exposed to the elements.

oh, by the way, I have one of the Seeed modules in my hand and I would say the LCD face is pretty well centered on the board. It’s not EXACT but no more than a couple of mm further from the backlight end of the board than the connector end.

I have the seeedstudio LCD too. It was my original request that he stock them ;). I’m thinking a few mm off will look pretty crappy in the box though.

I would get either blank or sometimes the black character boxes showing (I now know) that it was getting power. This was the first LCD module I bought and I had not yet learned about the liquidcrystal library so i was working just from the datasheet. The problem could have been my wiring or my code. I have it out now and I’ll try it again. What timing did you have to change?

In terms of centering, I just don’t believe I could detect the offset, maybe mine is not quite the same. How are you going to make the cutout for the LCD and attach it?

it looks better now since ive taped the sides but it was impossible to cut a perfect rectangle witha dremel, nor a box cutter, so i had to sand and sand, and, ofcourse, i over sanded and ended up with huge, awkward gaps between the sides of the lcd screen and the box…

exactly what I’ve been worrying about. I foolishly expected there would be readily available plastic/chrome bezels that would fit neatly around stock-sized LCDs, no luck yet though.

I got a couple of sample boxes like the one below from pactec. They have a wide variety on their web site. In this case the end is separate but probably too small for the LCD and the sides of the cases just leave you with the same issue of cutting your own hole and finishing it.

If waterproofing/dustproofing is not important, you can just sandwich your project (PCB, LCD etc) between 2 sheets of acrylic, with long screws and spacers.

I’m still surprised that there aren’t more readily available LCD mounting options. In my case I need something really weatherproof because I’m mounting on an exposed motorcycle surface but I haven’t see anything that would help finish off a project.

I think it is amazing that there isn’t already on the market a simpe palstic box with rectangular holes the size of the screens on LCD’s, which are all pretty standard.

Mike, I don’t think there is a single standard. I have three 16x2 LCD panels and all require different size cutouts. My 16x1 and 16x4 panels are different sizes again.
