The Tracker2 has had LCD support for a while now (and the OT1+ even longer) but I hadn't ever gotten around to documenting the hookup properly. I just posted some information here: http://wiki.argentdata.com/index.php?title=LCD_Interfacing There's no configuration, it just works automatically with the current firmware. Right now you just get one display - callsign, distance and direction, and comment text. I'll add more information as time and code space allows. I may rearrange the pinout slightly in the future to add a keypad. I've got a prototype working, but so far it doesn't do anything more than tell you which of four keys you pressed. Come to think of it, it'd be pretty easy to add a few more 'keys' (it's reading different resistor values for each key) and assign them to fixed functions like 'beacon now' or to macro functions, so you could make up your own custom control panel with whatever combination of buttons you want. Hmmmm.. Scott N1VG
