Arduino LCD Shield with Arduino Board

Here's an Arduino connected to a 2x16 HD44780 display, enclosed in 8"x4 1/2" Lexan. 

I used a modified version of the LCD Arduino library and hacked the LCD Smartie Sketch using Orbital Matrix commands. 

LCD Smartie is running the BigNum plug-ins. It shows Facebook news feeds, BBC Headlines, a Clock, local Weather and my folding at home status (team 144824) among other things.

This was a fun project, not too much soldering and had a high reward vs time invested. For more see my site robomart.com

Enjoy. J
