I think June had given up hope (see previous picture) as Peter continued with his quest to get a pictorial shot at Dino, and he did take a lot! I have just selected the best two.
Number 4 will run round the toast-rack trailer for the return journey to Lugano.
The following caption is added to each picture in this series.
The LCD was one of three metre gauge systems that operated in the Lugano area In the Canton of Ticino.
Built in 1911 t ran northwards, out of the city, from a lakeside terminus at the Piazza Manzoni. The first 2km to the depot at La Santa entailed street running and it was over this section that the LCD also ran a local tram service.
In 1949 the service to Dino ran about every 2 hrs. From 1950 the LCD used three Ce2/2 railcars acquired from the Tram Elettrici Mendrisiensi (TEL) system. The Tram service was withdrawn in 1964 and in 1967 the railway was cut back from Piazza Manzoni to the Piazza Indipendenza befoe the line closed completely in 1970.

I'm working on an LCD frame hacked out of a Mattel JuiceBox ($11 at Wal-mart). The 'Box runs uclinux and accepts MMC cards.
Opened up an older 19" LCD monitor that was turning itself off after running for a short amount of time. Got to the power supply board and found these bulging caps. Sure sign that these are causing the problem. #bulgingcapacitors #lcdrepair
An arduino with LCD display and Vex rangefinder. Measuring distances using ultrasonic rangefinder, displaying output on $3.50 lcd. LCD is actually black bg with red characters, but photo does not represent it well. The contrast of the lcd can be controller via 10K variable resistor
Got the Laowa 90mm 2x Macro lens and got close up with my headphones. This is a focus stack of 18 photos at f/2.8. I love that you can see the texture of the metal
James Murphy as LCD Soundsystem along with live band playing at Chicago's Metro on May 26th. This show sold out in a matter of minutes and tickets were being sold outside for upwards of $100 before the show.
I need to blog about this. This photo includes:
* A Raspberry Pi with a T-Cobbler
* A 20x4 LCD display with negative RGB backlight (currently hard-wired to purple)
Put together, this is a Raspberry Pi running a Python script that uses 3 GPIO pins to control 16 outputs.
Driving the LCD itself is a a dirty, dirty hack that fools some code from Adafruit into thinking it's talking directly to GPIO pins, when really it's talking to my shift registers.
It's that last part which made me bounce in my chair - because I don't quite yet understand how to talk to the LCD display, yet my hack worked the first time. (Albeit very, very slowly.) \o/
In the near future, I want to figure out how to control the red / blue / green backlight pins from the Raspberry Pi, in order to change colors on the display.

my first step beyond simple blinking LEDs - wiring up a proper component to Arduino and feeding it a message over USB.
any similarity to a test message in another photo is entirely intentional. can you guess what's coming next?
