Hi Fellow Proppers..

Has anybody hacked one of these· as yet· USB interface··or something similar..
These things are dirt cheap around the $30 bucks here (oz dollar)
Some of the slightly bigger models have SD card interface as well...

Google on Kaiser Baas and you will find them..

    You mean the keyring lcd, right? The others seem to be an order of magnitude more.

    Hi Fred.

    Yes the Key ring one is really cheap.
    Just googled a little and found many other ones.. 7 " (inch) for $100.00· (OZ dollars about 90 or so US)
    with SD card ...· lots of taiwanese manufacturers..

    Check this out as well .. was at a uni today and a chap there showed me this..

    The Propeller would be awesome for this sort of stuff..

    Fred thnx for that code snippet re Cog2Hub· (asm to spin) ..works well
    that was the code that got me past that stumbling block.. getting data across to a small spin program
    that sends data to a PC...now need to work out how to do 3 off them ..( 3 cogs to spin)

    cheers·· Ron Mel Oz

    Ebay has a bunch of these even cheaper still.

    Anyone working on USB with the Prop yet?

    My friend has one of these Photo viewing Key Ring LCD. She loads the pics on with a usb link to her comp. I think it just shows up like a Flash Drive, so you probably could sub in a Memory Stick Datalogger for the computer. Then use a Prop to dump .bmp files onto the LCD, where the user could view them.

    Just a thought,
    Craig

    BradC did some good and successful work on a Prop emulating a keyboard USB device and as a serial device, but as slaves rather than as a host. I believe there's a lot more to it being a host so don't hold your breath.
