Came up with a new piece of hardware today. On Sunday night I was asked by Adrian about having something very simple on the back of the Sam to show a number or even some LEDs to be used for debugging purposes, so he didn't have to print text up on the screen and could just output a value or two.
A quick dicussion followed about what would be best, and I built it up today - an interface driving a 4x20 LCD! Put together quickly with a bit of logic decoding and a microcontroller to take care of making it easy to use. I'll pop up more details on my website soon, as well as in the next issue of Sam Revival at the end of October - by then there'll hopefully be a few photos of it in action with whatever Adrian is working on!
