The * and X are for when he has stayed out too late. When the sensors turn on the servo to detect directions make sure you adjust the 0 or O to match the direction he is looking! 2x16 is almost to wide for 1 eye. It may look better with both eyes on 1 LCD.
I think these are way overdone! - The because we can is on the eyebrowes… Just the O’s would be plenty. And it would also look better to have them at the top row.
The monkey project is from a guy named “Dean Hall”. Dean is an old family friend of ours but I haven’t seen him in 20+ years. I knew he was a computer guy from back in the day, I had no idea what he actually did. Also, notice 2 things -one, the website is purple AND there is a little “power cat” logo up at the top… He must still be at K-State!! That is my home town and the university that both my parents taught at.
–Too friggin’ much, yo!
At any rate, it is cool to know about this set-up but my assumption is that the serial conveter backpack won’t allow this to work. Hmm, maybe i should get a blank screen and set it up with the whole “11 wires” system.
as I understood that Dean’s project was interfacing the LCD directly, I wandered about the fact that the serial adaptor could prevent you to access those advanced function
from what I read in the datasheet, It looks like it’s possible to send ANY command to the LCD
