Dear Sir,

I want to know whether both EPSON and PHILIPS lcd can be used without changing the coding.

Please reply me as soon as possible

Just a thoughtlet… instead of bit banging everything, I wonder whether an extra pin could be used to steer an open collector transistor to influece the SPI output before letting the hardware SPI take over.
Sigh. I guess I’ll have to start poring over the data sheets…

If you need a light OS for your digital picture frame you can use this one based on openSUSE11.3: http://susegallery.com/a/OFJVZe/photoframe

Would it be possible to set the refresh so high that you could trick it into being a video player?

I was searching through Google doing research for a blog article, when I found this blog, and while not what I was exactly looking for I found it very informative and interesting and it is certainly a project I will try myself. Thanks Sophie xx

This is all over my head, and I envy those of you that can do this type of thing. I should have studied computer engineering or electrical engineering in school. Then I could have built fun stuff like this and show them off to friend. haha

Hi there !
First : Thanks for this nice How-to !
I was interrested in building one of these Digital picture frame for another project but the problemS are :
- I’m a complete beginner
- Shipping costs are huge at mouser.com and I can’t find another good electronic selle (I’m french)
- I don’t have any kind of programmer and I can’t afford one. I can program a 16F64 PIC with my high-school hardware so is that possible with this type of Pic (5+7 I/O).
- I can’t solder SMC.

Sooo… I’d like to know if I could buy one of these for a correct price.

Thanks.
Montspy.
