Okay, the new LCD screen that I ordered from ebay has finally arrive it’s 2.4 inches and works perfectly. I will perhaps change out the internal battery for a little longer running time but at present it lasts for hours on one charge. Next from ebay is a 5 inch version for the rear logics. I will post pics when they arrive. As I mentioned in a earlier post this is a simple solution for those that have issue with LEDs and the wiring. That should be anyday now. Keep in mind once again that video cams can’t give the LCD display justice. The still pics give you and idea



Great job man! Looks really sharp! A bit slow but for a simple easy setup..I like it!
Thanks Jason…its an Idea for the first time builder

LCD looks nice.
Thank you very much
Lookin Good!!!!
I like the use of the Lcd screen.
Did you do the light pattern by changing from 1 pic to another?
How did you seperate the dots and make the pics for the Lcd?
I wonder if one of those screens that runs video would work also?

Thanks Calvin!
I created 6-7 pictures that are a part of a slide show. Making the dots was pretty easy. I found a picture card of the front and rear logics. I then created the dots in Photoshop, each on a separate layer and then created a few jpeg pictures. Now that I know this idea will work I’m going to work a little more on the blinking sequence. The great thing I discovered about this LCD solution is that I can create virtually any pattern and transfer via a simple usb cable directly from my computer in a matter of minutes. After I have tweaked my main pictures I’ll send you the bunch. Because the rear logics has over 100 lights it will take a few days to finish
Unfortunately, it can’t play video, otherwise i would have animated a video sequence of blinking lights instead. But, saying that, I have discovered all kinds of possibles. And this all started because of your “simple” addition idea to your dome. So, I should be the one thanking you dude
