Adventioneering

I’ve been slowly assembling the components to build a general-purpose I/O controller. I want something that is ruggedized but that I can also use for a multitude of projects. I’ve been struck by the lack of standardization regarding controllers among hobbiests and I think this is limiting the adoption for novel applications.

In any event I have selected the Arduino Mega platform. I am sure most of us have seen this before so I won’t go into it too much. I was a little disappointed in this sparkfun LCD, it arrived with some bad lines. I rubbed about half of them out and the others are just shot. I have spare LCDs thankfully. I do very much like their piggybacked serial interface module.
