This is a proof of concept for using a small graphical LCD with the ST7565 chipset as a character device in Linux. So far, the code has been tested on a BeagleBone Black running Debian 7.0 (Wheezy) connected to this LCD.
A BeagleBone Black is going to run the Qt5 TCP/UDP server on MyzharBot for remote control.

This is my entry for your beaglebone black case contest. Its actually the same wiring as your Pi LCD plate but I used a 8×2 display.

The BeagleBone GamingCape transforms your BeagleBone into a full fledged hand-held gaming console capable of playing all the classics such as NES, Gameboy, Sega GameGear, and even Doom. Just drop in 4 AAA batteries and you’ll be playing your favourite games discretely at work in no time.
Fun with #beaglebone *and* lecroy #logicstudio16 analyzer!

I’ve had my BBB mounted on the Adafruit proto plate for the last six months or so and it has worked great for my projects. In fact, it shows up in pretty much every picture that I take of my BBB.
From February 1, 2014 to March 1, 2014, in partnership with TI/BeagleBone Adafruit will be giving away 10 BeagleBoneBlack cases per week, all you need to do is share your project and we’ll pick 10 a week for 4 weeks! Share a photo or video of your BeagleBone Black project on Flickr (1/2), Twitter (1/2), Vine, Youtube (1/2), Instagram (1/2), Google+ (1/2) or Facebook (1/2) and tag it: #beagleboneblackcase. Be sure to check the links to see if it’s searchable on the social/photo networks you’ve shared it with. You can also email it ([email protected]). We’ll post the winners each week on the Adafruit blog! Be sure to check back each week to see if you’ve won! You can only win once, however you can share as many projects as you’d like!
