Ahhh okay everyone. I just thought it would be 'fun', and possibly save a tiny bit of money, but I'm seeing now I was mistaken. Thank you for the help, seems my old calculator has died in vain!

I have a calculator very similar to this one (same chip/screen) and would like to reuse the screen with my Pi. The display has a large ribbon connector, and some experimentation shows that each pin corresponds to a row/column. How would I a) connect this to the pi and b) output to it?

Thanks, observing for all your work though!

I tried another webcam, and now when recording through arecord, there is definitely a sound coming through - however it is a loud crackle, and I can barely make out words as a human never mind software! I'm guessing it's something to do with the rate , but I'll also try re-in...
