gEDA-user: Goldmine LCD update

[Eric Brombaugh <ebrombaugh1@xxxxxxx>]

A few months back I linked a page with a little gEDA project based on a 
very inexpensive surplus graphic LCD:

Since then I've managed to get it working and I've posted pix and source 
on the page. I've had help and encouragement from various sources along 
the way - thanks to all who contacted me about this.

The biggest problem I ran into was getting a reliable electrical 
connection from the elastomer strip that comes with the LCD. Who knows 
how long these displays have been sitting around in a bin, probably in a 
non-air-conditioned warehouse in the Arizona desert. Consequently, I had 
to swab the strips (both sides) with IPA before getting a good 
connection. After that though it was pretty smooth sailing.

Thanks to the gEDA team for tools & help. Comments, questions, etc welcome.

Eric
