Re: [avr-chat] AVR board with USB and LCD

[Gary Douglas]

If you wanted to do a board yourself - or modify your STK500 or similar, 
you can check out serial interface displays from Matrix Orbital 
http://www.matrixorbital.com and USB Uarts from FTDI ( www.ftdichip.com 
) - these might save you a lot of time!  I've used the latter with great 
success!

Using these all you have to write is UART code.... and buttons, of course.
