This is a great new product SparkFun is selling. It’s called the ScreenKey RGB Graphic Button and is described on the site as follows: ‘The RGB24T can be programmed to display any text or graphics on its 36×24 pixel display. The programmable backlight can illuminate the graphic display with many different colors. With a simple microcontroller, you can change the display and backlight once the button is pressed. It’s an on-the-fly configurable, multicolor, multidisplay button!’
Here is the link to the Example Code so you can play with it and have some fun. More info at screenkeys.com

Wow – these are extremely cool! even just as a multi-state button they’re awesome. Imagine building a drum machine where the buttons could toggle through multiple settings rather than just on or off.
I love the UI idea that a button says what it does right on it, and this takes that to the real world.
