Followup to the message I posted the other week about Nokia 2260 LCDs for my Babylonian clock... the electronics are now working.
The clock starts at 10:12:10 and ends at 10:13:08 in this video; you get to see most of the digits.
It was slightly tricky to fit the 59 digits (at 32 x 22 pixels) into the 2K MSP430; I wound up making a set of sub-glyphs which are used to construct the digits on the fly. Fun.
Unfortunately I had to use a different LCD, which won't fit in the clay housing I made for the previous flavor of this circuit. The LCD I used is from a Nokia 5120. I found a seller on eBay dumping 51xx and
33xx phones for $2 each, and bought a bit more than 100. I'm also buying about 100 color (Ericsson T68) LCDs for a more advanced version of the same sort of project.
