I know this isn't strictly Arduino, but here's a video of where I'm up to and what's possible with this chip.
I'm now uploading the page data to the AS1130 through the MCU (could easily be an AVR 
) from the PC.
The PC app takes data produced in a spreadsheet, converts it to binary format and uploads it to the external eeprom on the PIC board.
It then gets uploaded to the AS1130 as 36 frame pages. At the moment I'm using 10 x 36 frame pages (which will fit easily onto an AtMega328).
If anyone wants the source code for the PIC or the PC app. just ask.
I WILL be porting the code for the Arduino...but time is at a premium unfortunately
