Subject: [alt-beam] Re: LCD name tag
The original LCD circuit is Mark Tilden's (I think). The animated LCD is my
circuit but Lee did all the work of putting it together and the layout on
his web page. My wife pointed out that a room full of beamers with animated
LCD name tags would probably cause some kind of emergent herd behaviour. A
IR transmitter and PD receiver (simple) on each LCD would synchronize them
to make them all change at the same time.One of us, One of us.... Scare the
heck out of non-beamers, eh!

indicator light" like on the PSHEAD, you can have this little jobby
flashing "Circuit" "Active" alternativly
takes very little power for that lcd ya know!
