I acquired an InkShield from this [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1908026860/inkshield-an-open-source-inkjet-shield-for-arduino Kickstarter]. My goal for this project is to have a smallish enclosure to contain the system and buttons on the top which allow different messages to be printed.

== Layout ==

== Code ==
I am banging together the inkshield sample code with OneAnalogPin5switches code. To update the messages printed I intend to write a new sketch to the arduino with new values for the buttons. One could write a serial menu interface to store messages in flash, but that is way down the road. Code will be posted once it's working.

	As the inventor of the InkShield states, it's wise to remove the ink cartridge from its holder before updating the sketch on the Arduino, I had it spew ink out during this process once. Fortunately my project was sitting on a plastic bag when this happened and not directly on the couch. Also I keep the unit in a cheap grocery-store plastic sack when not in use. The Ink cartridge will smear and wick onto anything it touches, watch your clothes and furniture. It's also a good idea to keep a kleenex on-hand, the printhead needs occasional cleaning.
