#Atmega_screen

Finally ported all the code both arduino and python code over to use the new LED I2C screen and uploaded it all to my GITHUB. I found a more affective way to transfuse/encoding the data from the raspberry pi to the atmega_screen. I rapped the necessary data with a #1 or #2 or #3 ect at the start and ; at the end then all the atmega_screen had to do was scan incoming serial data starting #1 and ending in ; ect. This has made it much easier to send the code to the atmega_screen

Ever since I finished the #atmega_screen the RGB LED has bugged me as its far too bright even after I sanded the clear plastic to make it slightly opaque. While I was looking for some nuts and bolts in my random nut and bolt box I found these nut covers.

I cut the dome part off and glued it over the RGB LED on the #atmega_screen. I think it turn out pretty well considering

Here is a shot at it lit up. Its really hard to get a good picture when its lit up

I added in software the ability to toggle the RGB LED and the screen for when you don't want to glaring at you while watching a film or what not

So far I've been hard at work porting my code over to use new screen and added new and exciting features. One feature I've added is the ability to toggle the LCD back light, which is handy at night. 

I've managed to port the weather, stock, clock and magic 8 ball code found on my GITHUB but I still need to port over the countdown, twitter trending, currency prices and bitcoin prices code.

Now that ive got the hardware all finished I need to finish up writing the code that runs on my raspberry pi and on the atmega_screen its self. I need to come up with as many different uses for this project I can. So are ive got a weather, stocks, countdown, twitter trending, clock, bitcoin prices, currency prices and a magic 8 ball
