Scanner Control Interface

[Jordan1x]

Hi everyone,

I’m building a small control panel for my radio scanner using a DIABLO16 display module. It connects to my Arduino and shows things like frequency, signal bars, and menu options.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Hooked it up to my Arduino through the serial pins. Set it to show scanner data on the screen. Added buttons and LEDs to control a few functions.

It’s working fine, but I still want to:
Keep the display stable when the scanner is running. Stop any noise or signal drop from the wiring. Make the menu easier to use on the small screen.

Any tips for clean wiring or better screen layout would help a lot.

Thanks!
