So my order from futurlec.com.au finally arrived. I got a bunch of stuff including a 1.5v to 5v boost converter from maxim, a smart card and socket, a sheet load of 2.5mm DC power connectors, and my current favourite – the 128 × 64 pixel blue graphics LCD.
I had it up and running in about 20 minutes. I uploaded the example arduino ‘sketch’, and up pops my little LCD!
After a bit of screwing around I decided to have some fun. Clicky here for team-significant photo!
That is the team eagle in 128 × 64 pixel resolution! Okay, so it lost a LOT of detail in the conversion, but I still like it! It would be easy to add a little detail, but this may be the only time I use it :-P.
So yeah, just wanted to show you guys what I got up to this afternoon.
