The Tinker Dad | How Not To Fail With Parallel LCD Shields and Microcontrollers @TheTinkerDad | Uploaded May 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
A wrap up video of my journey of finding a proper, modern MCU board for a great little parallel LCD screen I plan to use for a smart thermostat and other projects.
