(late) Journal Entry Week 5

There are many actuators to choose from that go along well with the Arduino. I came across the TFT LCD screen while looking through the Arduino store:

TFT

 

As I am writing this late I came across this screen and can’t help but think that it would go well with 37337s’ idea of looking at the PIP BOY from Fall Out 3. This Arduino Graphic LCD (GLCD) screen allows you to draw text, images, and shapes to the screen with the GLCD library. It comes with an onboard micro-SD card slot on the back of the screen that can, among other things, store bitmap images for the screen to display.

Designed to fit into the socket on the front of the Arduino Esplora, but it is compatible with any AVR-based Arduino (Uno, Leonardo, etc.)

The datasheet can be found here:

The screen is 1.77″ diagonal, with 160 x 128 pixel resolution.

Using this screen we could program any sort of wearable device and strap it to a wrist platform to hold it in place.
