Sexy Bunny Project

I am embarking on my first case Mod. Below is a drawing of my proposed case.

I have acquired a 128x64 Graphic LCD and I am currently experimenting with it using LCDHype


After several hours of wire stripping, soldering, desoldering, more stripping, more soldering and Vodka and Cranberry cocktails, I managed to wire up this bad boy and fire it up! (literally, it's a good idea to take heed to manufacturer specs as to recommended current. My power supply apparently pumps out some serious amps. I stupidly connected all power lines to LCD without limiting resistors. It heated up real fast and distorted the screen, but after a couple of minutes of cooling down all is well. USE RESISTORS when connecting to power supply!)

Oh, the beauty!

mmmm

Next on the agenda: Paint case, create mount and bezel for LCD. Oh and clean up wiring.

I just ordered a new digital camera (it's about flipping time) can't wait till it gets here so I can take some pictures that will do this project justice




Cost so far:

LCDHype: free http://www.lcdhype.de.vu/

128x64 G-LCD: $31.55 ($27.50 for module + $4.05 for shipping) Solid Glow Technologies www.solidglow.com

Total: $31.55

laser cut? ... why?

[JollyRancher]

Laser cut so it will be perfect. I don't think I can craft something like that by hand.

That window will be sweeet

do you realize how utterly easy that would be to cut out with a jigsaw?

[Aero]

Looks good. I think I might get one of those LCD's for my case, are they easy to program? And why is your picture on that web site?

Love the space invaders animation on the LCD.
