It would be more expensive. chris: the biggest display you can get is probably a 40×4.

AVRlib even has the header file for ks0108! I am definitely trying this! For anyone that cares, a graphical lcd (128×64) would work excellently with this project.

Do I have to wire the keyboard up through this for me to able to use the keyboard?

Where can I find the LCD screen that is in the picture? The on with blue backlight, because on that one site it says it doesn’t have a blacklight..

Thanks

Also the 128x64 graphical screen does not use the hd44780 or equivalent controller it uses the ks0108b controller. <br> I was off on the $50…. miss the Stamp board, I believe the link is wrong in the list.
