Ordered some new screens!

So I think I've been stagnated on a lot of my projects because I'm bummed out I can't get one of my graphical LCDS to work.

First, I purchased a Graphical OLED display, this one from Newhaven Displays
Its supposedly has a rise and fall time of around 10us. Which means I can do some very high frame-rates with it (even if I do things at 100fps, that's 3 orders of magnitude longer than the minimum switching time).

I'm really hoping I'll have an easy time interfacing this with my USB kit. then we can make some interesting patterns on it, and eventually work on a couple of projects that I think would be neat. Namely some embedded gaming solutions. Im psyched to get them when they come.

Next, I thought I need some simple yet powerful enough LCD's for debugging and showing off basic information.
I picked up a couple 2x16 character LCDs. Three namely; I want to use one in a "kill-a-watt" style power metering device. Another for generic debugging. Finally one for Home circuit breaker and a DIY signal generator generic power supply.

Hopefully they show up soon.
