Thanks for the reply's, ya i think that display shield should work good. Is there less or more coding using this type of shield?
I really, really suck at writing code. Realizing the amount of time it will take me to fight/hack my way through coding makes me rethink this. I am more of a hardware guy and understand that aspect of the project. I would like to have these features and im sure to most that understand code think its no biggie, my mind just doesn't think in terms of code like it does for someone who does this all the time. I need a like a code cheat/calculator thing where you say "I want you to do this then that" and it writes the codes needed. LOL
