Kekule Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) It seems recently that the LCD screen mod has gained some renewed interest. The x3 (John7272 posted the pinout for connecting an x3 to the crystalfontz LCD) and xenium ones (with Ryzee119's spi2par2019 board) specifically. The xenium is all good, I already use/build and sell the Spi2Par2019 boards on my site (https://www.chimericsystems.com) but I wasnt willing to solder onto my x3 chip to add the LCD. The problems was that no one had any idea what connector the x3 used, so I set out to find it. Well, after months of ordering all the connectors that looked right (and being wrong lol) I have finally found it: The connector is a standard JST connector (SHDR-20V-S-B, which you can get from digikey for likw 20 cents https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=shdr-20v-s-b) and the pre crimped wires you can get from digikey for 54 cents each (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/jst-sales-america-inc/ASSHSSH28K305/455-3077-ND/6009453) I have 25 of them I will have for sale on my site (https://www.chimericsystems.com) in the next few days for $6 plus shipping.

KaosEngineer Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Sneaky Team Xecuter didn't do a 1-to-1 connector run: X3 to X3LCD pin number: 1 - 1, 2 - 2, ... 20 - 20 but instead connected: X3 to X3LCD pin numbrs: 1 - 2, 3 - 4, 5 - 6, etc Swapping the top and bottom rows from the X3 to the X3LCD side.
