Well, I made it in a day, that day ran into the next day though. Let's see... from my first half working code, to the completed condensed code, it probably took 6 or 7 hours. Thanks for helping me condense the code by the way, its almost twice as small now! Youtube video would probably be a good idea, I'll get to it when I have the time, and a video camera which is not currently at my house.

Note: Code re-updated, minor changes

No problem.

Isn't it great how you can do exactly the same thing, but with less code! It's a great learning excercise :)

Video demonstration.



Note: It is hard to see, but the top row starts out as all underscores, not spaces.
Basic functionality: The top row starts as all underscores, in the bottom left corner it shows the current character of the potentiometer and to the right of that character it states whether it is receiving new characters or it is done. (I just noticed receiving is spelled wrong on the LCD, going to make changes to it now)

Pressing the button writes the currently selected character to the top row. It is not done writing until all of the characters are filled up.

That is a really great idea!

I may actually have to borrow that for a project later down the track. It's such a great way to allow user input without the need for a full fledged keyboard!

Well done!

Yeah great work!, such a simple idea but one that is very effective.. This may also come in handy for a Clock/Time project ive been working on using a mcp79410 RRTC chip :)
