Craig HissettWhile CAN Bus control for my project is nothing but a pipedream at the moment, I need a way to control my Pi and display feedback.
@Arsenijs has a great project (#pyLCI - Linux Control Interface) that uses a 16x2 screen and a few buttons to command and control the Pi via i2c. Arsenijs has said that it still requires some work, so I have decided to make a simple arduino controller as a stop-gap
Using an Arduino Mega and an lcd/button shield I will make a simple little menu to essentially send serial commands to the Pi; a Python script on the other side will interpret the sent commands and act accordingly. This simple approach should let me get my Pi functioning somehow :-)

Hi!
The work that is required on #pyLCI - Linux Control Interface is mostly documenting things =) I'll make a simple Arduino sketch trying to re-create your shield so that you have an opportunity to try it out, do you have the pinout of the shield you're using somewhere, or, even better, library sources and code? I have a Mega and some screens+buttons to start with =)
