Very cool! What MCU are you using?

I personally like ussing the Microchip PIC18F4550's: 40 pin DIP (stupid easy to solder), full speed usb, 48 MHz, and plenty or code space and RAM, not to mention internal EEPROM, I2C slave/master, and so much more.

Some updatationalizationism I put the LCD on a very long cable and enable touch screen):

The whole back circuit board of the LCD glows when on:

Having used the PIC18F4620 this semester with MPLAB, i gotta say kudos lol....i couldn't even figure out SPI on the damn thing, and bit-banging is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

If you need something milled and want me to prototype or check placement, i can use our craptastic mill for free for the next few months :P

If i can figure out more advanced LCD screens other then the crappy 2x20's with built in ASCII and crappy 4-bit commands, then i'd be more help :P But, i just don't know enough C to make GUI's on a standalone LCD.

And someone told me that the PIC18F4620 wasn't meant to be soldered on board, only socketed. I only socketed mine on the PCB, but good to see that you can solder them.

there are different pin packages, the one with two rows of pins can be socket-ed which i do most of the time, but you can still solder them to the board. And thanks, i will keep that in mind

Just saw this thread, looked at the OP and thought to myself "Damn he must be bored if he put his interior back together" then i learned how to read dates on posts......
