LCD update

Finished off a spot of coding today. The LCD will now display the time and date of when u last had something. It does this in a loop. The screen only gives 32 characters, and doesnt scroll which i initially thought, so the info it displays is fairly simple. Just the item with the date and time of when u last had it. The only thing left to do with this is to solder its circuit properly. I'll do this next week when im making the pouch. Also want to look into getting the LCD backlight working, not that its really important but it looks better. It works for its self testing setting but not when i send data to it. I think i recall seeing a list of codes online somewhere to make it do different things so i'll have a look for this. I finished off my second draft of the report today and sent it to Graeme. For next week i want to do the survey for the readable cues evaluation, make the pouch and test it, and also now that i have a bit extra time left i will take another look into the bluetooth and see if i can get it workin. Wish me luck!

Sounds good. I wouldn't worry too much about the backlight. Doing a survey of readable cues, and making a pouch (what about a backup?) is a better priority all right :-)
Let's get everything working and the report finished before returning to the bluetooth.
Best of luck, keep it up :-)
