Not yet sure what exactly to do with it, but I got a Betabrite three-color LED display on Ebay. It was of course critical that it's programmable; it's got an RS232 serial connection so I'm planning to hack it one way or another. Someone's already built a .NET API for the Betabrite, so that'll certainly be an avenue. Either way, having a big display just generally seems to be useful for hardware hacking.
