It turns out, as a programmer, you can turn the 4 blue LEDs on and off at will, so you don't have to display power levels or controller number, you could do other things, as well. Like a clock: the Python script acquires connections to the four controllers, finds the time (in this case, a 24-hour representation, so, 14:47), converts each digit to binary (which seems a little weird, but it's called 'Binary Coded Decimal', and it's quasi-useful and easier for humans to read than a full-on binary representation of the time), and sends the binary representation of the digits out to the controllers. So: 1 -> ---* 4 -> -*-- 4 -> -*-- 7 -> -*** I tried some other things, including sweeping a light back and forth Knight Rider..."

Included in my entry is a link to a thumbnailed page with all of my images for easy viewing, this written text with the information you requested, a link to my work log, and a second .txt file attached that is a compiled list of image links to aid in posting my entry on your forums.

The mod is based on the upcoming and highly anticipated third installment in the Spiderman series, arriving in theaters May of 2007. I have been a fan of Spiderman since my comic book days as a kid and when I read about your contest I knew it was time to build my tribute to Peter Parker's alter ego, especially as the first trailers for Spiderman 3 were arriving and the "Dark Spiderman" premise looked so amazing. This is my second..."

I'd seen do-it-yourself picture frames on Slashdot before, and you can buy digital picture frames here and there, but it's really something else to design and perform this laptop-into-picture-frame mod yourself.
