Although the 'Clive' image is fortuitously on-message we could do with a few more different 64 * 64 1-bit monochrome (not greyscale) images for display or 'slideshow' purposes.

Anyone know a photo editor which can (attempt to) produce such stringently limited images from bits cropped out of colour or grey scale photos? I drew Clive by hand but it was very time consuming building him up dot by dot - a lazier / easier way would be nice.

Tim, when you get a bit of time would you be kind enough to draw a sketch of your Plus-three (optocouplers) interface so I know which extra GPIO pins you used for which of the extra three, and which three connections on the MK14 edge connector the extra opto go to? I would guess you left the original thirteen routed as found and just added the others in to the gaps, but maybe not.
