Display and SD Card happily coexist

A project log for explorad

Work in progress: The explorad combines a microcontroller, a display, and star charts in a head-up display for astronomical telescopes.

The title might not be that spectacular, but it's very satisfying to see the display and the SD card coexist. While the display is fed via DMA, I can pause the DMA driver and use the SPI to write to/read from the SD card using sdfatlib (https://code.google.com/p/sdfatlib/). Now I can have fluent graphics and read celestial object data from the card in the background. It's time to create widgets for this thing!
