How I made my pendant.

Have a look in the PoKeys manual 6.13 and you will find the LCD used is standard HD44780 and these you can almost anywhere.
Same goes for Matrix keyboards, search Ebay for both items.

Hi!

Characters LCDs are standarized to up to 4 lines. You can put more than 1 information in every line.
Motherboard will make your life simpler, but you can leave also without it.

Look in PoKeys manual pages 17-18, you can use two displays so add one with the extra lines you need.
I hope I have read correctly if not I am sure Boris will let us know what can be done.

It can not be used 2 displays on the same time, but only one of two. I prefer configuration 2.
As I told already. There can be mora parameters in one line. If you show 2 parameters in every line, 8 parameters could be shown.

OK
Can you explain why only one can be used and there is data pins for two displays.

[borisz]

That is the fact. Technical reasons for that.

On the other side, you can use up to 255 PoKeyses on one PC.
