rockford	I almost invested in the HYDRA many years ago. Never quite got around to it and totally forgot it ever existed until recently.

spinal	Got a cheap oled screen from ebay, got it working, then somehow killed it. Don't know how, it was working, I then disconnected it, removed the pins from my arduino micro so I could fit it all inside the nice case, wired it back up, ran the sketch and nothing, the screen is dead after working for a few hours. I officially give up. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Jayenkai	Poor Spinal.

spinal	well, turns out it was my arduino that was broke, not the screen. However, putting the stupid thing back together, I cracked the damn thing so no it misses every second line. So that's the cool little game thingy in the bin and a good far too many hours work down the toilet. Anyone got any suggestions for a new hobby? -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

rockford	Balloon animals? Origami? Reading a book? Playing a computer game (or two) - I highly recommend games by a guy that makes them weekly. I can't remember his name at the mo though.

spinal	Right, last try, ordered a new screen and arduino pro micro. If I can't put this together without shorting or cracking something then I'm obviously not cut out for this. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

rockford	Looks a tad lost in there. Nice work though Was the GG dead or did you kill it? Bad capacitors are often the cause of GG death.

spinal	mostly dead, the screen had a tone of dead pixels and apparently the sound made a horrible buzzing noise. The guy apparently gave up trying to fix it. I actually have a colour tft that looks about the right size for the gg, but I'd need to get a much more powerful processor to use it. 16mhz just can't cut it. At least this way I won't be crushing the insides to death like with the first version. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

rockford	The buzzing was definitely the caps failing. Can't do much for a deadish screen though, other than replace like-for-like. So, nice recycling
