Well more exactly *compile* natively. But I think you got the idea. As for the devils advocate "thing" I know what I would have done, and it probably had nothing to do with what either of you were trying to accomplish. So what I would have done - Is that I would have forgotten about the LCD, and tossed together a Nodejs app, and had the GUI on a remote web browser page. Honestly I really do not care for javascript much, but if I needed a super quick proof of concept - that probably would have been the easiest route for me. For you two . . . no idea. Anyway, like I said, that does not sound like the direction that either of you wanted to go. On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 1:55 PM, Yongfan Men <henry...@gmail.com> wrote: > Frank, thanks.
