This is a reprint of my original experiences with the XL_STAR RoadTest.
The original posts were lost with a site upgrade but thank goodness I kept a backup copy.
Enjoy!

Waiting with anticipation for my XL_STAR kit to arrive!
Ideas, ideas, ideas!
What to do?
Static Memory LCDs?
This technology is relatively new and boasts low power requirements.
I've ordered some for another project and I am considering interfacing them to the XL_STAR.
These have a SPI interface and can be easily connected.
