Well, today is my last post on the LTE project. After showing it to my co-workers, it has now been renamed the "bone phone" because of it's unique shape and color! I've also included the README …
Another update on my LTE project. This one is fairly small, but I worked out the compass screen, which runs off of the GPS. You can see the whole commit here. What is interesting about this is that I actually edited the library for the LTE shield itself to do …
