The BOX




A need for gadgets

Okay... I've had these alphanumeric displays for like a year now, and what have I finished? nothing. So what am I going to do? FINISH SOMETHING FOR ONCE. I'll be working at computer camp again this summer, and figured I might as well make a simple multi-function tool.

A simple 20 by 2 line terminal, clock, frequency counter. The primary purpose is for connecting to basic stamp robots, but I plan to also include IR input and output somehow, and adding a 4th and 5th function: IR terminal display AND protocol conversion between IR and RS-232.
