Hey there,

I have two http://www.mountainkingtech.com/ Brilldea 3.0" LCD and Driver PCBA Mounting Kit acrylic kits that I picked up at UPEW.

I don't have any of Timothy's displays, but I'd be pleased to send one of these to two different Prop forum members who have http://www.brilldea.com/product_30LCDanddriver.html from Brilldea.

Just send me your shipping address by e-mail kgracey@parallax.com and I'll get one of these to you.

    Hey Timothy, I just looked at your boards because of this post and they look great! I'll think I'll get one soon.

    But you·can·call me micro.

    If it's not Parallax then don't even bother.

    I have changed my avatar so that I will no longer be confused with others who use generic avatars (and I'm more of a Prop head then a BS2 nut, anyway)

    Thanks guys. Yes we have stock of the displays and feel free to send your order over and we will get it shipped in the next 48 to 72 hours. Unfortunately our ordering processing/shipping is slower than normal right now.

    In addition to the displays I have black and white mounting kits from Mountain King Technology but I haven't place them on my web site yet. If you are interested in a mounting display as well as the product drop me a PM or e-mail and I can work out the pricing. The mounting kit pricing is US$7.00 per kit.

    I bought one of those displays. And they work great.

    I was just wondering have you ever figured out how high the input voltage can be.

    To this day I did not know that you ran Bridillia.com. I have always wondered what the connection was with that site and the Propeller........

    I'm hoping this and a touchscreen will work well on my robot. I will probably wait until later this year to get it though, I am currently more interested in getting the sensors for it, especially since tomorrow should be the first day I get it running autonomously now that I have the steering all ready.

    Thanks for the encouragement. Brilldea is my fledgling side business. It is growing and in time in may be a full time prototype service and electronic goods for prototypers. Brilldea is more of an outline for me to enjoy helping others and to explore great electronic projects that expand my horizon. Since my move to Singapore from Hong Kong I have been crazy busy and so the site and new products have been lagging. It now appears that I am going to be extremely busy through the end of the year. My day time job is building theme parks and Universal Studios Singapore is due to open before the end of the year so it is crunch time and I am going into over drive in working day, night and everything in between.

    I love the Propeller since I got to do some prerelease reviews and writing about the Propeller. I have created a couple commercial/one-off projects with the Propeller. I have several projects on the drawing board. Recently I started a limited release of a new LED controlling product called the Illuminator-CA which is listed in another thread here somewhere.

    I hope to find more great products like the TFT display and driver board as I get back to the electronics markets and brining those to markets. I have a few items here that I haven't listed yet such as 10Hz GPS units, current clamps, etc.

    Keep up the good work, it's always exciting to see what new things people on these forums come out with. I find it a little surprising though when you say you build theme parks, but I guess it's why you call yourself an "Overly Enthusiastic Entertainment Engineer."

    Anyway, I don't want to get too OT here--Ken just might bite.

    Hi Timothy;

    Years ago when I owned a company in Singapore, I recall that the Sim-Lim tower was a place that just HAD to be visited, and so I did. It's was a multi-storey (9?) building where EVERYTHING electronic is for sale, all by mom/pop kiosks..... but it's all there.

    Can you tell us if that still exists, and can you give us your impression of it if you have been there?

    Cheers,

    Peter (pjv)

    It's still there and it's a *must see* for any visit to Singapore.
    When I was last there the square in the middle was hosting a fashion parade with some of the most incredible human clothes horses I've ever seen, although there was not a lot of clothing on display [noparse];)[/noparse]. The best of all the worlds.

    You can always pick up what you are looking for in Sim Lim.

    lt's not particularly silly, is it?

    Sim Lim Tower and Sim Lim Square are both here in Singapore. Sim Lim Tower is only a couple stories of electronic parts, pieces, components, test tools, etc. There are offices above the shopping area. Sim Lim Square is a couple stories of nothing but cameras, DVDs, computers, software, etc.

    I enjoy a visit to either place that is for sure. If you haven't been to asia before, they are a must see. However if you have seen the markets in China, as I have, these are a bit dissapointing. If you really want to be blown away, I mean REALLY blown away you have to see the market in Shenzhen. Entire blocks of the city devote to multi-story buildings with nothing but electronic components, computers, devices, tools, etc, etc. AMAZING.
