Re: Tomagotchi as display

Hey, I found a few things out...now that I've managed to disassemble 
the first one.

1)  The display is not a discrete component, but is an integral part
of the single circuit board.  This may or may not be a big deal.

2)  The display seems to be a simple dot matrix display.  It shouldn't
be too hard to hack some type of display system.

3)  The display is transparent, with a reflective piece of cardboard
behind it.  Should be simple to integate it into a nice "eyeglass"
type display.

4)  The spacing of the contacts on the board is sufficient, that I 
can probably homebrew some type of board, that would give me access
to the pins.  i.e. I think I can make it work.
