My serial LCD for displaying directions
CitznFish:
welp, I just won an auction for the same item. Call me a copy-catter, or whatever, but this idea is too good to skip. :)
Now if i could just get along and build a cab.

On your LCD your buttons read "Button 1: XXX" (where X is what button does) I'm trying to eliminate the "button 1" and just have it read what the function is...(i.e. High Punch) would you have to modify much to have it do that?

I'm not sure I understand the question. You can pass whatever text you want to the LCD without any modification. You just setup your text files to look the way you want. If you're asking whether my little text file generator would need modification to do that, then the answer is yes. Everything in it is currently hardcoded, as it was just meant for my personal use. I'll make a more customizable version of the program soon so you can do whatever you like.

Sweet....
I'm going to go (hopefully) pick up 2 panels from the guy with the auction, I e-mailed him and he's got a couple of extras that he'll sell me and I can just go pick them up since he lives here in Phoenix.

maraxle,
The LCD is a great idea. So great that I picked up a couple of those LCD screens off ebay.
Any chance you would be willing to post (or send me) your VB code? I might like to alter the VB code to format the LCD screen a little differently.
I understand if you don't want to.
Thanks
