Got the seeeduino mega today, and the screen. Right now the mega is displaying the standard "Hello World" Of a blinking 10mm led. I also get to do all of this on a Mac, so hopefully that will make things easier, although I can switch to a windows computer just as easily. I'll start doing the soldering and whatnot tomorrow after I get the screen wired up, as that's my biggest concern. I just got the idea to use an old IDE cable for the wiring to keep things neat. Horray for old parts!


Anyways, I'm going to be running the basic mpguino with a large speed setting added on. I'll dig into the coding tomorrow after I get out of class, and then I'll install it.

Woo!

Oh yeah just as a side topic, was anybody surprised at how -small- these things are? I expected something four-six inches wide, not something smaller than my HTC Touch! (which is a crap phone by the way).
