AppleRemote & AppleDock modules

-> haha, 'glad to hear that ;)

-> you mean RS, EN, D4..D9 || D0..D9 ? ( I have the RW Gnd-ed fine currently - nb: never used the 'read' mode yet .. )
=> big thanks for the "guy": I'll try picking one/some up & try out having more pins left & greater speed than with the 4 wires configuration:D

Also, I have some ( ugly :/ .. ) code that auto fades the backlight RGB between few colors ( 'd need improvements to be maybe a 'grb color fade' module ? ( .. ) ) available here:
https://github.com/stephaneAG/Espruino_t­ests/blob/master/characterLcdRgbBackligh­tAndMike/characterLcdRgbBacklightAndMike­.js

Little question, though: using eith 8 wires or I2C is mandatory to have quicker response between lcd.clear() & the next lcd.print call ? ( I wanted to display bar graph of 16 chars max on the lcd depending on the analog value from the mike ( to be "mapped" from one "-" to 16 of them ) as a quick try ;) )

the test code for the above quick try:

// lcd update/ clear 
var lcdUpdateCntr = 0;


// listen to mike & output bar graph
var w = new Waveform(128,{doubleBuffer:true});
w.on("buffer", function(buf) { 
  var l = buf.length;
  var v = E.variance(buf,E.sum(buf)/l)/l;
  console.log("---------------------------­---------------------------------".subst­r(0,v));
  
  // map/adapt the result to the LCD width ( 16 chars )
  var lcdOutput = "----------------".substr(0,v);
  //lcd.clear();
  //lcd.print(lcdOutput);
  
  if ( lcdUpdateCntr < 1 ) {
    lcd.print(lcdOutput);
    lcdUpdateCntr++;
  } else if ( lcdUpdateCntr === 1 ) {
    lcdUpdateCntr++;
  }
  else if ( lcdUpdateCntr == 5 ) {
    lcdUpdateCntr = 0;
    lcd.clear();
  } else {
    lcdUpdateCntr++;
  }
  console.log('lcd update counter: ' + lcdUpdateCntr );
  console.log('variance: ' + v);
  
});
w.startInput(mike,2000,{repeat:true});

ps: still didn't receive the pod breakout :/ ..
