LCD with Arduino
I was able to have my Arduino UNO communicate with a 128x64 LCD
I'm pleased with these initial results but still have a ways to go before I finish my primary programs to control the pumps and use this display to make changes on the fly.
TECHNICAL NOTES
(things I needed to look up before I could get everything up and running)
LCD + Arduino purchased from eBay
http://bit.ly/mat6Vv
Datasheets (from CD) downloaded to:
C:\Users\globalloonan\Desktop\Data\Arduino with 12864 LCD
PINOUTs (from readme.txt)
ATmega168/328 uses configuration file: ks0108_Arduino.h
LCD ARDUINO
CSEL1 14 // CS1 Bit // swap with CSEL2 if left/right is reversed
CSEL2 15 // CS2 Bit
R_W 16 // R/W Bit
D_I 17 // D/I Bit
EN 18 // EN Bit
LCD data 0-3 8-11
LCD data 4-7 4-7

I have Pinout B
1. Read Me from CD
UNO Arduino
2. http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/GLCDks0108
I have Pinout B
3. Use this schematic but default to text (#2)

4. REMOVE the RESET (otherwise code wont load). Just leave it dangle
5. This LCD board is KS0108-type and a GLCD (Graphical LCD) as opposed to textual (Character Mode)

Playa Gifting
I'd like to use my circular peg loom as a gift for the playa by making a few different products for my camp makes. First I need to perfect the technique and then place an order (along with my Chasing El). These are some rough ideas as well as approx materials needed
PEG LOOM | |||
Hole | 60 | cm | |
Peg Diameter | 13 | mm | |
Distance between Pegs | 10 | mm | |
Peg Circumference | 4.08 | cm | |
Every other Peg Circum | 11.31 | cm | |
Number of Pegs | 26 | ||
1 lap around every peg | 1.66 | cm | |
1 lap around every other | 2.07 | cm | |
PRESENTS | ||||
Belt | Sheet | Creative | ||
Width | 2 | 6 | 3 | |
Length | 1 | 1 | 4 | |
Total (meters) of El Wire | ||||
Every Peg | 3.32 | 9.97 | 19.94 | |
Every Other | 4.14 | 12.42 | 24.84 | |
MATERIALS | ||||
12 presents | 14.93 | 44.79 | 89.57 | |
(2x of each) | ||||
Total El Wire (in meters) | 149.28 | meters | ||
Total Inverters | ||||
small | 4 | |||
large | 8 | |||
Sequencer Working !
As a corollary to the Liquid Jacket ... the El Wire Jacket came to be (at least in theory)
The trade off for air/water flowing through the schlauch would either be sequenced El Wire (dividing the jacket into 8 or 16 sections) or Chasing El Wire. I finally got my hardware, time to play with it and got everything up and running in less than a night (thanks largely to Make)
A couple things I need to remember are:
Arduino Program
Tools -> Board -> Lilypad Arduino w/ ATmega328
Tools -> Serial Port -> COM13
Sequencier Board
Computer -> USB -> FTDI -> Sequencier
Flip Switch -> USB
