What are some other good vendors that still exist for obtaining prototype-y stuff like Arduinos? Or perhaps a Pi, as I'm already very comfortable with ARM stuff - no sense diving into AVR and complicating the project needlessly. Not that I won't later on, I'm sure. =:)
That code reminds of what we'd receive from the outsourced entity responsible for the Blackfin BF533 we'd selected to develop with, back in a previous professional incarnation. Highlights included the entire menu structure (being the framework for a personal media player) being written as multiply nested switch statements, one per menu/submenu, and an infinite loop, also nested twice, presumably for good measure. ^_^
I rather liked the hackery on the little mono OLED we used on another project - clearly actually a parallel interface device, they'd just bolted a shift register onto it and called it SPI. =:) Still, it worked, but only unidirectionally - you couldn't query it about anything, especially not the video memory.
