New project added
Before any others are anywhere near complete, it's time to add yet another project to the Nerd Club Blog. It's actually part of the Game Score Device but because there's a lot going on with it, a separate project was created for this LCD Keychain Photo Album Hack.
In time, it would be nice to be able to miniaturise the game score device so that it fits into a keychain-type enclosure - or at least to make use of the cool little full-colour LCDs that they use, instead of the clunking great 2-line character display. Since they both cost about the same (between £3-£4 each) it would make sense to use the keychain idea, as for the same money you also get an enclosure and some micro-buttons ready to use!
The keychain also comes with a 3.7v lithium-ion battery and a miniature USB socket, so there's plenty to be salvaged, although I suspect that re-using the battery is going to be difficult, so I'll be looking to replace this with a watch battery or two.
Any way, there it is - a new project: how to hack a keychain LCD photo album.
After all, if it works, there are probably 101 uses for it, not just a game scoring device!
