Adding a "Cool Blue" Display to your uBitx!
The standard "green background" with black lettering frequently reminds me that I suffer from Chronic seasickness -- and yes I spent four years in the US Navy. So I usually try to avoid anything that has that "seasick green" color. Today I shifted to a cool blue display with white lettering. This move may even contribute to reducing global warming.
Since the I2C is not being used literally any LCD can be plugged into (or as in my case connected to) the Raduino. Tell me doesn't this doesn't look really "uptown" with a real touch of class. The supplied LCD is slightly smaller and fits right in the hole. The blue one is slightly bigger in one dimensions thus I had to uses some aluminum spacers to bring it close to the front panel. Having a huge junk box helps.
