<div dir="ltr">That's not RGB/TTL... that's parallel 8-bit. Different ball game. RGB/TTL is either 24-bit (8 bits per color) or 16 bit (6 bits red / 6 bits green / 4 bits blue -- blue is more intense to the human eye so it only *needs* four bits vs six for another color). The thing you're talking about... that gets talked to more like a character LCD than anything else. You know the display on those old HP laser printers you used in grade school? The ones that could *only* display text, and had a dedicated spot for each character...? *That's* a character LCD. *That's* the kind of interface you're looking at here.<div><br></div><div>Dude, if all you're driving is that kinda thing... use an Arduino. If you absolutely need Web connectivity (or if you need a little number-crunching ability but not a lot), use an ESP8266. On that note -- a friend of mine has found a way to turn off an ESP8266's WiFi side if you don't need it. (<a href="http://www.hackster.io/rayburne/esp8266-turn-off-wifi-reduce-current-big-time-1df8ae">Info here.</a>) If you somehow need something that's more than a fractional-horsepower driver for it ;) like if you're building some kinda fancy pants Johnny Five robot... throw a RasPi at it.</div><div><br></div><div>Here, this might provide some inspiration --> <a href="http://johan.kanflo.com/the-commadorable-64/" target="_blank">http://johan.kanflo.com/<wbr>the-commadorable-64/</a></div><div>Despite the name, it's a daughterboard for a display like yours, that integrates an ESP8266 and driver circuitry. You'd have to buy the parts and solder it together -- and it's almost all surface mount stuff, mind you, which is a real pain in the tail... but it's worth it from what I can see here.</div><div><br></div><div>EOMA68 is *way* overpowered for any application using that kind of display. EOMA68 is on the level of a Dell desktop, or at least an older ASUS netbook.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 28, 2016 at 2:01 PM, Louis Pearson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:desttinghimgame@gmail.com" target="_blank">desttinghimgame@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Thanks for ask these replies!

<p dir="ltr">According to the page it accepts an 8-bit signal. From the looks of it, this would be able to directly use the RGB/TTL signal.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another question I have is about SPI based displays. There seems to be a lot in this size range. Would those be able to display hardware accelerated video? Is that even a concern with this small of a display?<br>

Someone on Hackaday did that a year or two ago. I thought it was neat then and I still do... don't think I bookmarked it tho.</div></div></span><span class="">
