What strap?Of course of course.
Does this strap look really long or I'm I imagining things?

So the only way to connect the display to another source and have it actually work is to know what each of the 24 pins does, and the only way to figure that out is to use specialized equipment to identify the timing, pin-out, color lines, voltage etc.
Gene loves short skirts and GoGo boots …..Remember when Airlines Stewardesses dressed like that? I wouldn’t put it past Gene in an isle seat watching the Stewardesses walk by…… I know I did as a kidI think it may be the uniform that is too short.
Yeah Im going to link it over at the XDA forums in case its helpful. its 337 pages of technical information about a microchip the size of a quarter. Skimming through that document made me feel like a neanderthal. Unfortunately nothing there can help with connecting to the display, but I did see some things that looked encouraging:One question…..did you look at the data sheets in the pdf….I linked?
Okay the swiffer is definitely not going to work on this. I'm going to need to use the mop again.

Why do they always pick the same spot? Eww.

Well at least in the case of Star Trek, RCA owned NBC at the time, and Trek was a big part of their advertising for their TVs. RCA founded NBC in the 20s.She would have looked good in anything, but yeah I've heard that too and shes impossible to ignore in the background. I find it interesting Gilligan's Island also had red and blue shirts. They did start off in B&W though. Batman had a lot costumes that popped on color TV. I'm convinced there were some kind of industry incentives going on.
BTW, I’m stoked about the engineering symbol on the circuit board. Is that the last Easter egg in the tricorder?
This is such a fun find. Yeah, maybe more little easter eggs hidden in the code as well when that gets looked at? I’m all-in regarding the engineering symbol now! I want it on a hat and t-shirtThere’s Engineering symbol on the opposite side of the power board as well.
Since the tricorder was not broken down to the Switches and Lights PCB….no telling if the Engineering symbol was stamped on it.
The PCB for the Moire has no Engineering symbols that I can see.

The Disc’s switch’s PCB…..no Engineering symbol…

Yup, got my IGN email about 30 minutes ago. I'm pleasantly surprised since initially we were told August 18.FYI, IGN is sending out tracking numbers.

OK so this... might actually be brilliant fanatico. Youve defiantly fount a way to identify some of the pins i think. Im no electronics engineer, but it seems logical to assume that if a pin from the microcontroller chip has a circuit path to a pin on the LCD cable housing, and we know what the pin on the microcontroller does, then that should make for a correct id for that LCD pin. Ive got a start on tracing the circuit paths:I’m almost sure …. The information you seek is in this PDF…it even has some programming. This covers the ARM’s LCD functionality and features….

This gives me the impression that the tricorders' capability is seriously underemployed.From the functional block diagram you posted….. I found this (actually last night)
View attachment 1955349
The pin assignments, names, and functions for the LCD are in the tables pages 59-77…..
Here’s an example on how to read the tables…..under the column Alternate Functions….look for all Alternate Functions instances starting with “LCD”……then look left under the column LQFP144 or Pin Name (function) to physically locate the pin on the ARM chip.

None of this would need to come up if only TWC gave User functionality to the Micro SD Card to play and read files!![]()
