LCDNotify is my first Arduino based project. The main function of the LCD is to show the most important information without having a normal monitor switched on.
In the top part of the display the last release shows data about the current track. The software takes the data from Last.fm servers, so you can connect Spotify, Youtube, VKontakte and many others music services.
Additionaly, the third line on the LCD is occupied by current weather conditions data (temperature, pressure, weather direction, humidity).
When someone messaged you on Facebook, or you have another FB notifications, the information will be shown at the fourth line. If not, it will show you current date and time.
The components needed to build the device don't cost much. When using my drivers, you can build LCDNotify for only $7-10.
You need:
Arduino board (UNO is fully compatible)
LCD 2004 display with I2C module
USB cable
