I saw this at the London hackspace: A pillar with a bunch of computer displays showing all different sorts of things. So I thought: Let's build one for the lab as well! We have a whole bunch of monitors, let's make them do something cool.
Ideas
One SomefruitPi per Monitor
- Many Pis on a network
- Super cheap: OrangePi? [1]
- Problem: Most are VGA based, Pis only do HDMI
- HDMI VGA converter? Do they work?
One PC, many graphics cards
- Old PCI Multihead cards (e.g. nVidia Quadro NVS280)
Mounting
The displays need to be mounted somehow. Ideally, we would just get a ton of display arms. But they are expensive. Maybe we can just build them ourselves?
