Universal Display
Because of the very low Prices of the Digital Picture Frames I think they can be used as an universal Display. There is a simple connection via CF Card interface and several buttons possible.
An Interface between µC and DPF couldt be established by providing data via CF Card interface and using the Enter Button as a Clock input.
What do You think about that Guy's ?

Hello uli1,
The idea is not new. If you search around a bit on the internet you will find that some (most?) of those frames run a version of Linux that you can replace with a Linux of your own devising. One of my former colleagues has shown me such a hack. With your own OS running on it you can of course add a data input.
I don't think you can do a lot through the card interface as I would expect the frame to only load a file from it every once in a while and that's it. The MCU is not expecting any activity there and would not monitor the interface, so I suppose you cannot really use it to send live data to the frame.
Regards,
Clemens
