So 7" TFT LCD photo frames are for sale now for around $60, which begs the question: Why aren't we hacking them? A full colour, cool looking display, an SD card reader, and the remote control to boot - seems like a good deal for the price to me!
I've seen video on Youtube of a guy working through a "How to Make Your Own Video Game System" guide. He's using a CRT for the display, though, but the heart of his VGS is just an Atmel mcu. I think it's time to upgrade our hacking skills, and get a PIC running some DIY graphics on a photo frame.
Uh... anyone know where I can start? I'm having trouble finding any info on a project like this. Links, advice, speculations, usual digressions... it's all good, baby!
