			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want to build your own games, but don&#8217;t have the artistic talent to build complex game graphics? This new kit lets you create games using a simple LED dot-matrix display.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5303 aligncenter" title="meggy_jr_rgb" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/meggy_jr_rgb.jpg" alt="meggy jr rgb" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p>With a colorful 8&#215;8 RGB LED display, the Meggy Jr RGB handheld platform gives you everything you need to create your own mini-games or pixel art displays.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5305 aligncenter" title="meggy_rgb_display" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/meggy_rgb_display.jpg" alt="meggy rgb display" width="520" height="354" /></p>
<p>Each colored dot actually contains three tiny LEDs, for a total of 192 uniquely addressable positions. The kit includes 6 clicky button switches, an audio transducer and additional LEDs for keeping track of things like your score or number of lives left in your custom games.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5304 aligncenter" title="meggy_jr_rgb_kit" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/meggy_jr_rgb_kit.jpg" alt="meggy jr rgb kit" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Meggy Jr even offers customizable handles so you can pimp out your handheld with your own design.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5306 aligncenter" title="meggy_jr_rgb_handles" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/meggy_jr_rgb_handles.jpg" alt="meggy jr rgb handles" width="520" height="348" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <a href="http://www.arduino.cc/">Arduino</a>-based Meggy Jr RGB kit comes with a pre-installed game called &#8220;Attack of the Cherry Tomatoes&#8221;, a little side-scrolling shooter, but the real fun comes from writing your own games. All you need is a USB-TTL cable, and the open-source Meggy Arduino developer library.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5307" title="meggy_kit" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/meggy_kit.jpg" alt="meggy kit" width="520" height="390" /></p>
