piplate + 4x20 lcd

Post by ridingintraffic »

is it possible to use the pinout from
http://www.adafruit.com/products/1115
to power/drive
http://www.adafruit.com/products/498

so that would be using the piplate to drive a 4x20 lcd instead of the regular 2x16 i know i would most likely be losing the ability to use the buttons and would have to do an interesting header stack in order to clear the i2c controller for the board... does anyone know if its compatible??
