It's a mix between what is yet accomplished and what remains to do...

Half of the screen is cabled, it is yet at the level of the 32x32 kind of these displays.

The PIC18F89K90 program seems functional, so I wrote a tiny Java program to send to it some images. It grabs a screenshot of the 64x64 pixels surrounding the mouse cursor, converts it to green-orange pixels and sends the data to the serial port every seconds.

Despite some remaining artifacts, it start to be useful. I suspect the resistor that puts the cathodes to the bias voltage in order to inhibit it is a bit too high.
