I wanted to do something interesting with the many electronic parts ive collected. So I hooked up a nokia phone LCD to a PIC2520 uP for output and a 3axis accelerometer for input.
What better demonstration than the old vector cube!
Rotating the accelerometer gives varying analogue inputs to the pic allowing it to rotate the cube to match.

Whole project has been moved to a new proto board running on 3.3v not 5v.
A new LCD (A nokia 6100 screen) is connected via SPI to the PIC.
An analogue joystick is also connected to allow movement as well as the accelerometer (not connected in this photo). A video of the screen working is on my website.

I finished the 3D for the main object allowing solid 3D with backface culling and Z-sorting.
Now ive moved onto a 3D landscape. If you remember "Virus" youll see where im going with this.
I may still end up adding stars instead for a space game.
