You know what really gets me is all of these phones that are older that are just thrown in the trash for me it would be of interest to see someone with the brains to put some of the LCD's from these old phones in to play.

That it's true. Also phones have so much more than just the lcd. Any phone newer than 7 years will have decent camera. Bit olders even VGA camera. Ofc controlling those and really using them is not going to be easy. But it's still something we'll see at some point (Not necessarily on ESPBasic.) Just would like to see all this stuff getting into use instead of being thrown away.

Doing stuff. Doing things. Most of that you'll find from my blog.
