Richard (Average Man) has written a really nice tutorial about using a small 8×2 LCD display with the Pi, using his ProtoCam prototyping board. This is a really great use of the ProtoCam (which is now fully funded on Kickstarter) which makes using one of these small displays feasible (the pins are too close together to use on a standard breadboard). Read the tutorial here.

I’m a proud supporter of the ProtoCam – I think it’s a great product for the price (£9) and I really appreciate the amount of work Richard has put in to writing material around the product – it puts a lot of other KS campaigns to shame!
