Ouch… it’s too big….make smaller
So after much hacking away, I’ve finally gotten the zip code to compile under the Arduino IDE. Â But it doesn’t quite fit.

Brain dead reverse-engineering
When gutting the phone, I went to the trouble to preserve the hook and PTT switch infrastructure. I’m still not sure how I’m going to use them, but I figure that it’d be good to know how they work. With the help of my trusty cat Ezra, I carefully stripped the end of all the […]
Making the output ugly
Part converting the code for use being fed to a TDD is to make it a long stream, rather than a pretty curses(3) based interface. This means that all the trouble the developers spent on making lines wrap cleanly, and providing vertical breaks between elements is lost.
Gutting the phone
So I started with this phone, but it’s full of phone guts that aren’t going to help the project at all.
Grue Brains — the plans
Since my original concept was to power this with an Arduino microcontroller platform, I’ve decided to see if I can power it with an Arduino Pro from Sparkfun. Why Arduino? Why not code to the bare uC? Â Arduino has got a nice IDE, which makes development easier, and it’s got lots of pluggable hardware that […]
