Awesome, thanks Patrick. I assume everything is 3.3V (excluding VCC3, VCC5 and DC-IN of course).

I now have to ask questions

1) Is DC-IN just the raw supply from outside the empeg i.e. basically battery voltage input on the empeg?

2) Which of these are inputs/outputs/bidirectional?

Pin 1: LCD bus bit 0 (unbuffered, 100R series resistor)
Pin 3: Pixel clock (unbuffered, 100R series resistor)
Pin 5: Line clock (unbuffered)
Pin 6: Control line to PIC
Pin 7: Frame clock (unbuffered)

I can't see how data (i.e. button presses) come back from the PIC unless "Pin 6: Control line to PIC" is actually a line coming back or some are bidirectional.

3) So pin 10 is simply one way async serial coming back from the display 38kHz receiver?

4) Pin 9: LCD BIAS signal. Should I just pass that straight through or should it be "analogue" buffered?

5)
Pin 11: IRDA RX line
Pin 13: IRDA TX line

So RX is heading towards the StrongArm?
