While looking for new experiments I found these new experiments, thanks to Oomlout:
Buying a LCD 16x2 screen from a regular webshop costs 9 to 11eu (incl. potmeter and headers), and from another webshop it costs 3.95eu, still requires soldering though...
Buying a 8x8 bi-color LED matrix from a regular webshop cost 3.60eu, but from eBay you can get 10 pieces for only 12.30eu including shipping costs!
Hold on a second, why on earth would order 10 of those?!? And don't forget to order 10 shift registers, to control the LED matrices...
So buy your stuff at the best place:
- Sure Electronics (buy in China via eBay)
- Dick Best (Dutch web shop)
I guess I'll be shopping again real soon:
- Replace the arduino in my LED matrix clock for a standalone microprocessor
- DCF-77 receiver module to make the clock radio controlled
- Maybe even an DS1307 Realtime clock IC
