Re: Double buffer grey scale?

I remember back in the day someone was selling a game that flashed to create colors by stimulating the retina at different frequencies.

Keyboard trick

I read about this trick somewhere. To give your keyboard a "tactile" feedback place a drop of clear nail polish on the keys. Try this at your own risk!!! Try a test drop on the black margin first.

When I tried to add the hour it won't update again! I shouldn't have to remove the battery to update th...

I ordered the assembled module. Is there someway to test the flash memory, assuming that's where the data is stored?
