LCD

Got a serial LCD unit from an old Firewall I had. Attached it via a level shifter to the pi's serial port. Didn't have much luck with getting it work. I will also need to create my own LCD routines. I think a LCD connected to another MCP chip may be the way to go. Wiringpi should make the coding easy. One on order from eBay for the sum of £2.00 post free!

Still waiting for the chessboard :-(. Looks like first class post from Birmingham takes more than a week!
