Hello, I think there is a thread in the archives about this, the simple fact is that the kopin has some complicated timing signals going to it. I have been playing around on and off with a solution to this problem for about a year. Since its just a hobby for me I have been trying not to spend too much on it. Right now I don't have any micros that have enough speed to get the job done. (just PICs and there max instruction time is about 200 ns). I waiting on a FPGA development board that I ordered from fpga4fun.com. If you have never worked with FPGAs before, they are good for generating timing signals because you can truly have concurrent processes with logic between them and they can run really fast. Altera has a free IDE for their smaller parts. I'm thinking of a micro-fpga solution. Here's the few links that I have found about people working with kopins. http://incolor.inebraska.com/mcarlson/sunglasses_hack.html https://securehost34.hrwebservices.net/~magefor/cgi-bin/view/Main/SunGlasses http://www.btinternet.com/~family.entwisle/personal-blog/static/project-wearwulf-display.html the last link actually has a circuit of how to power the kopin. The documentation from kopin is not very good, I find that the documentation for the driver chip made by Motorola is more descriptive.
