Blade Runner Optical Viewer Build

[JamesTalon]

Hi

I finally got around to starting to build a Blade Runner Optical Viewer and thought that I would try and add in some extra functionality into it.
I came across Tinycircuits.com recently and they make a Arduino board that is the size of a postage stamp perfect for putting inside this. They also make tiny screens and other little ad ons including an accelerometer that allows measurement of accelerations in three perpendicular axes. This accelerometer is less than a cm square!! I thought I could use the accelerometer to send tilt and motion information to the little screens and this would make a cool readout on the OV.

So here it is: a tiny little Arduino board, couple of 96px x 16px screens and a really tiny accelerometer.

So here is a video of the accelerometer sensor being moved and the readouts on the 2 screens. I think it looks pretty cool.

Very cool indeed

Added a boot sequence to the screens when you turn it on and including a glitchy error.

Good add-ons

Looks like a really cool project, Keep us posted.
