Let's vote for the best time for us to go shopping for some parts
locally. This trip is most rewarding for people who are unfamiliar
with where to go and buy electronic parts in Hong Kong.

When will be our shopping trip?

I just found out that some ARM boards can directly connect to LCD screens, and I can software-program the frequencies etc to match the screen. Sometimes the voltage is different (3.5V output from the board vs 5V for the LCD) so a level changer may be needed. Guess I'll just choose the right LCD screen for the prototype. All in all, it doesn't look very difficult...

LCD hookup can be a bit tricky, but is not bad if you are careful with
getting something that matches the driver.

The trip is on March 12 (Sat). It would be great if you can join us.

Thanks, meanwhile I'll look for a used screen...
