Serial LCD with Flash eeprom

This is part of a larger project, for an electronic Blood Bowl board. Testing a number of ideas in one project - converting a parallel interface LCD into a serial interface, using a shift register and reading data from Flash-based eeprom to display on the LCD.


Sorry about the blurry image, but you should just be able to make out the string of characters as it cycles through a list of names, stored in the external Flash eeprom chip. The characters should read
  • Blood Bowl
  • Griff Overwald
  • Varag Ghoulchew (ran out of characters!)
  • The Mighty Zug
then cycle through them all again.
