This example project uses the custom GLCD component to display a rotating cube on the sparkfun LCD shield. The code supports additional menu selections to change certain aspects of the rotating cube. The user can use the SW2 switch on the Pioneer Kit to access certain menu options. The menu options affect the scale, perspective, and rotation of the cube. Buttons S2 will increase the menu value while button S3 will decrease the value. The S1 button will reset the menu item to the original configuration.
Hardware Connections:
There are no hardware connections outside of connecting the Graphics LCD Shield to the Pioneer Kit.
