Almost There...

With a little polish and oil, the richess of the wood delights the eye. Cast-aluminum parts of old HDDs add to the solidness of the case. Crowned with a polished solid aluminum knob, it begs to be caressed... :-)

    Remind me again what LCD you used as I think it looks fabulous - blue/white against the rich wood

  2. Aha, I think it's the 4*20 LCD from NKC electronics ( LCD-0016 )?

  4. Hi Dweeb4. It is the one from web4robot. I got it because when I started this project I wanted to use the one with easiest interface. You can find the links to the LCD and library in the sidebar. I think it is he same as the one from NKC (and maybe others), but if you want to use i2c, you need the interface board from web4robot. If you buy it from them, it comes soldered to the LCD.
