Liudr,
I went to your site and posted a couple of things there, and they now seem to be gone.
Looking at the Phi-2 instructions, I found a couple of "faults" - luckily minor ones.
I don't think here is the place to specifically mention them, can you help me with a method of pointing them out?
Couple of other questions - I shall hope to buy the shield from you soon, but need more things clarified.
I notice the shield has buttons on it. I bought a LCD shield as I have mentioned and it too has buttons. Kinda defeats the purpose if there are two sets of buttons.
I dug up an old LCD display I bought, it is a LCM-5044, or GEB-2294V-0 S. Suffice to say is it a BIG display.
Could/would it work with the adrino and your shield?
The GPS module would be nice and handy to use as a time sync. Every now and then I would/could poll it and get the time and then re-set the clock to the right time. I'll take it that this would be possible, but there is a problem with location. The clock would not be near a window or have a good sky view. So the GPS module would have to be remotely connected. Say 5 metres distance. Cat 5 cable and a small box? I would wire up another RJ45 socket and plug it in - but am looking for thoughts if this woud/could work.
There is also now (I hear) cards to play MP3 sounds from a small SC card. Could one of these also be included to play a sample when the alarm goes off?
I feel there won't be enough I/O lines to do all this, but I would like to get a feel for what the unit can do before I get my hopes up too high.
