no there isn't cable between those cards, cause they are one piece in a bigger setup :/ and coorz, those doesn't help me cause there isn't that HD61830 chip in display, it's in other card but It was in same machine

That could be a help... If you take the other card and only connect the needed pins to your display you would not have to connect ram, oszillator, etc. to the HD61830... You could save some work and much time...
Would you please make pics of the whole lcd and the other card!?

Here is pics of the controller card:

as you can see there is 10-pin connector, and 20-pin connector, so I think that 10-pin connector has something to do with the display's 10-pin connector ;)

So if you can find out something please tell :)

That card looks good! It can be a great help (for you)...

Can you trace the pins with your multimeter? Make a list how the pins are connected to each other and to the connectors. Which pin from the HD61830 goes to which pin at the connector and so on...

I can do it when I have time today I'm quite busy, I'll try to catch some time in the evening..

do you know what is that rom in the card? and what it have to do with the whole display controller

You can (should) use the whole card as it is as controller-card for the lcd.

The datasheet for the ram can be found here:
http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-p ... 517AL.html

Every lcd-controller needs some ram. The controller writes the data it gets for the next image into this ram and when the image is completely built in the ram, the controller takes the data out of there and sends it to the display.

Is that answering your questions?

Possibly the socket contain(ed) a ROM or EEPROM to display static logo/info on the display. What kind of machine did it come from?
That board certainly looks usable.

The additional socket might also be for some custom font ROM or similar. I'm not 100% sure but I think HD61830 had this kind possibility.

But that controller board you have looks like it should be enough to drive the display. That 10 pin connector found from both the controller board and display is most likely meant to be connected together. Just find some cable for it and also find out which way to connect the cable. If you trace the HD61830 pin names where the connector pins go and also trace some of the display connector pins going to the IC's in the display we should be able to tell you how to connect it.

Also that other connector should have signals for connecting to LPT port and voltages. Again if you trace the traces going to the HD61830 we should be able to tell you how to connect things.

I know I could see most from your pictures already but I'll save my time and let you trace where things go and do all the work and give us easier presentation of it to work with. ;)

It's from weighing-machine :) I can trace the pins today, when I get back from school, so I'll post it here when I have done it ;)

I´m writting a source code for the HD61830 + PIC18F452. It is a commented code and contains some advanced functions you may like. It is available at: http://eletronica.50webs.com/

I hope it may help.

Roberto.
