2. Just feel free to download and use the sample 1 or sample 2 as start file for your own design. 

3. Please us the id´s and names what are indicated in this table. These id´s are used in the controller unit.

4. You´ll need to have a micro sd card with minimum 1 GB memory (Ebay, 1,-) and to format it in FAT32 format.
 

5. Edit your own jpg pics with any kind of picture editor software. Pls. take care that the pics will fit within the maximum lcd size what is 320 x 240 pixel.
