LCD 16x2 RGB Display

I got this display for my next project. It will be displaying two variables that are being measured with the Arduino. The RGB display can have various colors by grounding the RGB pins (16,17,18). It is a nice display and I'll have it working dynamically updating every few seconds. The project will also have a calibration button and instructions will be displayed on the LCD screen.

Adafruit has a great tutorial on hooking this bad boy up. Again, 17 and 18 are connected to ground to get the different colors on the RGB. That is not covered in the tutorial. Rest of the components for the project get in at the end of the week!

7 Segment Display from Adafruit!!

Its been awhile. I have a few projects I am working on now but taking my good ol' time. The one I would like to build using the Raspberry Pi utilizes the 7 segment display from Adafruit. I think they look really well on any project and are really easy to use.

This has the I2C backpack and they have a great tutorial on using them. Only need 4 connections and you'll be up and running.

The other project I did has a lot of design work and I am starting to acquire and build the parts, pretty excited and I'll be posting on that in the near future. Uses some strain gages with an Arduino.
