Converting a bike trailer to a jogging stroller

Kirsten wanted a jogging stroller so I did this quick mod to our bike trailer for her to try out. I Simply made the handle with some aluminum tubing and UHMW supports screwed to the trailer frame, and I repladed the trailer hitch boom with the salvage bike fork. The bike fork was the right size, I just drilled one hole for the pin.

Part Deux

Success on the secord LCD, even after reversing the power polarity and creating a puff of smoke. Lucky, lucky!

mwuh-ha-ha-ha!

How Sweet it is

I am sure this picture is unimpressive to most of you. Just an LCD module with some question marks on it. Well, it is very sweet to me. I was interested in an LCD display to interface with an AVR micro-controller to potentially use in a number of projects including Grant's camera timer.

Retail for a LCD like this is over $20 US plus shipping, but through handy Ebay, I can get them for $3 US plus $3 shipping. $3 to ship from China!

So I got it within 2 weeks and today I tried to test it. Can I just say it took a lot of research and I was stumped about 5 times. Then, as with many of my projects, presto, it all came together and I have ??????????????????? on the screen, and on purpose!

Of course it all seems somewhat elementary now...
