have a
graphic LCD panel sitting here on the table by the side of me. There is a
board that I built hooked to it, and I have a proper professional IDE /
compiler installed on the computer. I found some routines on the net,
imported them to the IDE and compiled them and loaded them up to the PIC.
It
sort of worked, but there is some issue with there being both a vertical
and
a horizontal 'echo'. Could be hardware. Could be software. And there it
has
sat for at least 2 years. I was really enthusiastic when I started on the
project. Now, I can't even be fagged to look a bit deeper into the
routines,
to see if I can write a simple diagnostic to prove out the hardware. Very
sad really. Actually, all I want to do right now, is jet off to sunny
Florida, on holiday ... :-)



Its supposed to rain most of the week.



Bright sunshine here at the moment, but I'd still rather be out your way !
Had a severe weather warning on my Weather Channel desktop for Orlando
Airport yesterday. Very heavy thunder and hail I think it said. Been a while
since I saw a good storm. We're gonna try and get out some time in May.
Based on previous visits at that sort of time, should be quite nice then ??
