ioBridge Serial LCD

All you have to do to get a free ioBridge Serial LCD is to “Name the Thing” over at Hacked Gadgets. The contest runs from March 13-19, 2010.

Alan Parekh has put together an amazing collection of projects on hackedgadgets.com and resources for electronics hobbyists, students, and tinkerers alike. We are subscribers to the RSS feed and always look forward to the posts.

Good luck!

Update:

The PHP Widget Control API is now a part of the ioBridge Wiki and includes a few enhancements.
