Re: [Amforth-devel] Butterfly problems

[Ian J. <ij...@sa...>]

Hi Mike,

You might look at my earlier posts on the butterfly.  Possibly the changes 
I had to make have been integrated into the source tree now.  I'm pretty 
much the begginer though and the work I was doing was all under FreeBSD 
without AVRstudio.

I don't think I was ever able to get the LCD working correctly and I've 
lost momentum.

I'd be interested in your progress.  Let us know how it goes and 
especially if the LCD and AD words are working for you.
