Almost there....

Posted by Chris on Thursday, September 24, 2009

Here's the latest ScoreSure device, running from a lipo battery, in pocket-sized form (off the breadboard) and displaying the opening screen. Confusingly, I coded this particular device up as a petanque score-keeping device but the only image I had to hand (in ready-to-use-for-the-Nokia-byte-array format) was the golfer from the ScoreSure Golf Pro.

That aside, the golfer bitmap appears as expected, without the need to edit anything. What is a little confusing is that the ScoreSure logo is completely messed up (it should look something like this.)

Also the brightness/contrast on this particular shield (it's called Color[sic] LCD shield v2.0) needs tweaking a little bit - I don't know if it's overvoltage from the lipo (i.e. it's giving out more than 5v) or whether it's the shield (which appears to have changed slightly from the earlier version).

That said, it shouldn't be too long before we have a working ScoreSure device of some/any description!
