I'm not certain - you could try testing on the VDLK. If memory serves, the last time I was looking I wanted chunks of memory, so a byte or two here and Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:51:48 GMT Paulo Marques http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1354 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1354 ... Hi, zuzzeui ... [...snip mostly agreed on topics...] ... Monitor blinking is no longer doable, I'm afraid.

I looked at the latter ones before settling on my Timex Datalink USB. They're not reprogrammable, for one, and the battery life apparently can't Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:24:36 GMT Paulo Marques http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1351 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1351 ... Hi, zuzzeui ... You can already get a few of those, without having to develop a new hardware platform: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:46:37 GMT tonsofquestions http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1350 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1350 This is actually the group for developers, so it isn't really the right place to ask this.

I'll see what I can do. I've tried a bunch of stuff. ;) ... The LCD is definitely a no-no.

Hi, Daniel ... I understand, and I appreciate the help. I asked if it was more energy efficient because I never actually used electroluminescent strips Thu, 04 Jun 2009 15:55:13 GMT Daniel Arnold http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1340 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1340 Paulo, I wasn't trying to say it was better, just that it was possible. They are a bit more energy efficient and they do give a more even lighting, but it may Thu, 04 Jun 2009 15:34:58 GMT Paulo Marques http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1339 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/timexdatalinkusbdevelop/message/1339 Hi, Daniel ... But is really worth it, in terms of energy efficiency, compared to high brightness LED's? LED's are much simpler to use since they don't require
