This controller will be designed for installation into an Eee 700-series netbook to serve the following purposes:

1. Provide a communications interface to I2C, SPI and UART devices over USB
2. Control power switching to various internally-mounted low-current (~0-25mA) and high-current (~25-125mA) devices.
3. Provide non-USB-Host 5V power to the high-current USB devices through high-current SPST switches so as not to overload the USB Bus (Update: This will be done by off-board MOSFETs. There just wasn't enough room on the board to allow it to still fit in the space allocated for the MDC1.5.

I found this parking meter at Princess Auto yesterday. Made by POM Inc., this meter is called the PPM.

I got it to work by adding a rubber band with just enough tension to depress the turn-detect lever when the lever is turned. The meter has knobs where a tensioned spring was attached. I'll have to find a decent spring somewhere.

I got this LCD screen free with one of my computer-related eBay purchases.

The label on the bubblewrap says:

I got this little "Anadigi GPS-R02 DIY" car gps kit from eBay seller anadigi-hk, and it was mailed direct from Hong Kong.

Woo! I got my contest kit for the Microchip 16-bit Embedded Design Contest.

While at the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, I picked up three of these LED bargraph guys. I haven't tested yet to see what color they are, but that will come in time.

3/$2 isn't bad, if I can say so myself. 

Ok, this 13" Sharp TFT LCD screen with XGA (1024x768) resolution was used in some Dell and NEC laptops, including the Dell Latitude CPi D266XT.

While at the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, I picked up a bunch of breadboards and unetched PCBs from a goodie-bag dealer (one with little bags of misc parts for a set price).
