Hello all
I am new to the Arduino and electronic engineering, but i had an idea for a project and I hope this works.
I am wanting to make an electronic name badge for going to conventions. I hope that it will be in full color,
Here are the parts I am looking at.
- a standard Ardunio Uno R3
- a 2.2" TFT LCD display with micro SD board (2.2 18-bit color TFT LCD display with microSD card breakout [HX8340BN] : ID 797 : $29.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits)
- Power will probably be provided by a 9V battery or AA batteries, rechargeable so I do not burn through batteries
Here are my goals for the project.
- create a static image for a name badge.
- create a set of static images that can be changed by a push button
- create a short looping animation, like an animated gif used on message boards, that can play on an endless loop.
- create a set of short looping animations that can be changed with a push button.
and here is the help I am needing, like I said I am new, but willing to learn.
- for the 4 goals are they do-able on an Ardunio, meaning am I planing a project that is outside the power of the Ardunio, if so is there a similar product that could work.)
- for the display, is this a good product, or is there a display that would work better.
Also if anyone knows a person who has done this type of project, please fell free to send me a link to their project page. Just that I am looking for a full color screen, and not a simple 2 color matrix display.
thanks in advance for the help
